关于我们
Sea Turtle Conservation Cura?ao is a non-profit organization, based on the island of Cura?ao, that provides protection for sea turtles, marine animals, and their habitat. We focus mainly on rescue, rehabilitation, and research activities, as well as education and creating awareness within the community. Several times a week, dedicated volunteers check the beaches for nesting activity, injured individuals, and other notable situations. The moment we find an injured turtle, we either offer immediate help or take it to the vet in case of serious injuries. Scientific monitoring takes place so that we can protect Sea Turtles even better in the future. To this end, we patrol the beaches where nesting activity is expected between June and December. Here, nests are monitored for the number of eggs, and the behavior of nesting turtles is mapped. If necessary, nests are moved to a safe location. In addition, photographs are taken of individuals swimming around the island so that we can track their development over the years. This is important because many sea turtles are currently growing tumors due to the virus Fibropapillomatosis. OUR VISION Our vision is to open a rehabilitation center for Sea Turtles on the island. Cura?ao is one of the four biggest known places worldwide for Fibropapillomatosis (FP) outbreaks. The rehabilitation center will give us the opportunity to take more care of FP turtles and create an international hub where scientists, researchers, and vets can focus on this deadly disease. Ideally, the new rehab center would be big enough to take care of 10 sea turtles at the same time. REGIONAL IMPACT STCC is a proud member of the Wider Caribbean Sea Turtle Concervation Network (WIDECAST), and it is through our WIDECAST partnership that our conservation activities are strengthend to include a regional impact. IMPORTANT NOTE If you see a sea turtle or nest in danger, please call or WhatsApp: Ard: +5999 664 7970

Unique but Heartbreaking Discovery… #Rare sea turtle #twins were discovered in an #unhatched egg during a routine nesting survey on Klein Cura?ao ??? ?? The egg appeared normal on the outside, but upon further examination, we noticed two embryos - a rare phenomenon in #seaturtles ?? Researchers will be conducting further studies on the egg and its contents ?? If you would like to help fund this #research and our #conservation efforts, please scan the QR Code on the last page, or contact us directly ?? ??

Shami’s Last Day with STCC ???? After intense few months, Shami has reached the end of her internship (finishing Cum Laude!) ?? She was a great member of our team: very communicative, always positive, and ready to get out of her comfort zone ?? She went “all in” with tasks (especially with the nests) and would always make us smile! ?? A hard worker and great carer for the turtles! ?? She will be missed at STCC, but now it’s time to wish her all the best with future projects and on her journey! ?? Thank you for everything, Shami! ??

??? Trapped in a pond??? Last Sunday, volunteers noticed a young #seaturtle in a pond, which was not connected to the sea. Due to hide tide and heavy rainfall, the turtle had gotten in but was not able to get out. ?? Because of the sun and extreme heat, the water in the pond had reached really high temperatures. ?? A small #rescue team was quickly formed, and they were able to catch the animal. After a weigh and health check, the turtle was successfully released back into the #ocean.?? #curacaoturtles #seaturtleconservation #volunteers
