The Sea Turtle Conservancy, formerly known as the Caribbean Conservation Corporation, is the world’s oldest sea turtle research and conservation group. An international nonprofit 501(c) 3 organization, STC was founded in 1959 by world-renowned sea turtle expert Dr. Archie Carr to save sea turtles from eminent extinction through rigorous science-based conservation. The Florida-based organization carries out worldwide programs to conserve and recover sea turtle populations through research, education, advocacy and protection of the natural habitats upon which they depend. The Sea Turtle Conservancy’s research programs over the past 50 years have yielded much of what is now known about sea turtles and the threats they face, and STC is applying this knowledge to carry out the world’s most successful sea turtle protection and recovery programs.

“The Sea Turtle Conservancy is thrilled to be working with FCS to help raise awareness and support for the protection of sea turtles and their marine habitats, says David Godfrey, executive director of STC. “As a respected leader in the surfing industry, FCS is helping us spread the message that surfers and sea turtles share a common need for healthy beaches and clean oceans.”
 
“We are very excited for this opportunity to help The Sea Turtle Conservancy with their efforts.  As surfers, we share the ocean with these lovely creatures on a daily basis and we are happy to do our part to help them flourish so that generations of surfers to come can enjoy their grace and beauty as well.” says FCS’s east coast regional manager Ron Long.  “Although this project was in the works prior to the recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, this tragedy just highlights the need to support organizations like The Sea Turtle Conservancy that protect and conserve the sea life in our oceans, and FCS is happy to do just that with this special fin.”
