Not only are sea turtles beautiful animals, but they also show incredible perseverance and resiliency- after all, they have been nesting on our beaches for millions of years! World Sea Turtle Day is celebrated on June 16th because that is the birthday of Dr. Archie Carr, STC's Founder and the "father of sea turtle biology." Dr. Carr will forever be remembered for the enhancement of the sea turtle conservation movement and the legacy he has left behind. His research and advocacy brought attention to many of the threats that sea turtles face and helped create a passionate community that continues to strive for a better future for sea turtles.
