The Leatherback Project conducts interdisciplinary research and conservation initiatives aimed at protecting leatherback sea turtles and other threatened marine species. Our work addresses key drivers of population decline, including fisheries bycatch and habitat degradation. We collaborate with scientists, policymakers, and coastal communities to promote evidence-based solutions such as marine protected area implementation and the recognition of Nature’s legal rights. By using sea turtles as sentinel species, we investigate broader ecological changes and advocate for sustainable ocean stewardship grounded in science.
