ABOUT US

BSTP is an all volunteer non-profit corporation working for the preservation of endangered sea turtles in Atlantic, Neptune and Jacksonville Beaches, Duval County, Florida, U.S.A.

Our goal is to keep the sea turtle population from experiencing a downward trend which could be irreversible. We are working to achieve our goal by:

1. Reducing the disturbance and harassment of nesting sea turtles by educating the public about the hazards of night-time beach activities and beachfront lighting.

2. Increasing the hatchling survival rate by educating the public about the dangers of lighting, human intervention, and pollution.

3. Contributing data to the Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network and Florida Fish and Wildlife.
