🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️

-THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-

This World Sea Turtle Day we're celebrating the incredible work happening in the U.S. Virgin Islands to protect endangered sea turtles. Especially on the beaches of Jack and Isaac Bay Preserve on St. Croix, which host the largest nesting populations of green and hawksbill turtles in the region.

Since 2001, The Nature Conservancy has led a sea turtle protection and monitoring initiative that’s made a real difference. In the early 1990s, nearly one-third of all nests were lost to threats like poaching and beachfront development. But thanks to ongoing protection efforts, poaching dropped to less than 1% of nests, and the number of nesting green sea turtle females rose from just 8 to nearly 300.

From July to December, TNC teams monitor nests, protect hatchlings, and educate locals and tourists on how to avoid disturbing nesting sites. By reducing threats and raising awareness, they’re giving these ancient mariners a fighting chance.

Let’s keep supporting this vital work and ensure sea turtles continue to thrive in the Caribbean. Learn more here: https://nature.ly/3TplIyq
