Sea Turtle Conservancy (STC) is hoping all of its supporters will participate in this year’s Giving Tuesday Campaign, which seeks to raise funds for the critical work we are doing as part of our Beachfront Lighting Program in Florida. Since 2010, STC has worked to eliminate problem beachfront lighting and sea turtle disorientations in Florida, retrofitting lights on nearly 350 beachfront properties and darkening more than 46 miles of beach by retrofitting thousands of bulbs and fixtures. This program saves tens of thousands of hatchlings every year from being disoriented by lights.

STC is deeply appreciative of all the support received from various foundations for this project. Our current project needs include funding to: host educational workshops, work with local governments in Florida to improve their management strategies for beachfront lighting, and respond to requests from other states and countries to utilize and learn from our 15 years of lighting experience.

You can help STC raise $72,000 this Giving Tuesday with your donation being matched by STC’s Board of Directors, up to a total of $36,000!
