Turtle Island’s Mission and Initiatives

Turtle Island Restoration Network works to mobilize people in local communities around the world to protect marine wildlife and the oceans and inland watersheds that sustain them.

We work to protect endangered marine species, save critical ecosystems, improve consumer choices, encourage government action and inspire corporate responsibility, all to protect marine wildlife and the wild oceans we all rely upon. Our small and efficient core staff is buoyed by thousands of supporters, volunteers and pro bono professionals. Join us today!

Through our:

Sea Turtle

Sea Turtle Restoration Project, founded in 1989, we protect sea turtles around the globe.

SPAWN

Salmon Protection and Watershed Network, founded in 1997, we work locally in West Marin County, CA to restore endangered coho salmon habitat.

Got Mercury Got Mercury Campaign, founded in 2003, works to educate consumers about the personal health risks of mercury in seafood.

To fulfill the promise of each of these initiatives and plan for their future, we are currently undertaking a capital campaign. With the a goal of $2 million, “Waves of Change” will create an activist and organizational hub, comprehensive internship program, and intern housing on two irreplaceable sites in West Marin, CA.

These efforts all protect a wide array of marine species and human communities, all of which call Turtle Island (a name for the earth shared by cultures around the world) our home.
