Sea Turtle Police

Empowers local volunteers to protect and conserve sea turtles, ensuring their survival and preserving marine biodiversity along Kenya's coastline

Guardians of the Sea

The Sea Turtle Police project, an integral part of the Coastal Conservation Initiative, embodies a dedicated team of local volunteers who act as guardians of the enchanting sea turtles that grace the Kenyan shores. These unsung heroes work tirelessly day and night, patrolling the nesting beaches and monitoring the movements of these majestic creatures. Armed with torches and unwavering passion for wildlife conservation, they protect nesting sites from poachers, prevent disturbances caused by human activities, and rescue injured or entangled turtles.

Through their vigilance and care, the Sea Turtle Police create a safe haven for these ancient mariners, ensuring their survival and contributing to the preservation of marine biodiversity. By supporting this project, we empower these coastal custodians to safeguard sea turtles, fostering a deeper understanding of the critical balance between human life and wildlife along Kenya's precious coastline.

  • Reforest mangrove woodlands

    This project aims to restore and protect mangrove ecosystems along the Kenyan coastline. Through community-led efforts, we plant and nurture mangrove saplings, promoting biodiversity, mitigating climate change, and providing essential habitat for marine life and coastal communities.

  • Support women seaweed farmers

    We empower women in coastal communities by providing training, resources, and market access for sustainable seaweed farming. By cultivating this valuable marine resource, we promote economic independence, gender equality, and environmentally friendly practices, creating a win-win for communities and the environment.
