The
Caribbean Conservation Corporation (CCC) is a not-for-profit, 501(c)3
organization based in Florida with offices and projects in several other
locations. CCC is the oldest and most accomplished sea turtle organization
in the world! Since its founding in 1959, CCC’s work has greatly
improved the survival outlook for several species of sea turtles. CCC
is a world-renowned leader in sea turtle research and conservation; we
thank you for joining us in our efforts!
CCC, founded by Dr.
Archie Carr and others, has as its mission the protection of sea turtles
and the habitats upon which they depend. To achieve its mission, CCC uses
research, habitat protection, public education, community outreach, networking
and advocacy as its basic tools. These tools are applied in both international
and domestic programs focusing on geographic areas that are globally important
to sea turtle survival.
Why Sea Turtles:
CCC
has chosen sea turtles as the focus of its conservation efforts in part
because these ancient creatures are among the most important indicators
of the health of the world’s marine and coastal ecosystems. CCC
believes that whether sea turtles ultimately vanish from the planet or
whether they remain a wild and thriving part of the natural world, will
speak volumes about both the general health of the planet and the ability
of humans to sustainably coexist with the diversity of life on Earth.
