Connecting Coasts. Protecting Turtles
We’re the West Coast Sea Turtle Society (WCSTS): a community-driven network working to protect Pacific sea turtles and their ocean home. Through science, education, and coastal partnerships, we empower people to build sustained ecological stewardship.
Rooted in collaboration and driven by science and education, our work spans the Pacific—from responding to strandings to leading community-based initiatives that safeguard livelihoods together with sea turtle habitats. Together, we’re building a connected and resilient coastline, where both people and sea turtles can thrive.

PAST SYMPOSIUMS
Since 2022, the West Coast Sea Turtle Society has brought together the finest minds in sea turtle conservation, education, and advocacy for a three-day conference.
