Let’s celebrate sea turtles!

Did you know that all seven sea turtle species are threatened or endangered? This World Sea Turtle Day, the Living Coast is promoting a healthy and safe habitat for sea turtles in San Diego. At the Living Coast, they are dedicated to educating the community on how you can help protect sea turtles in the wild and how making small changes in your daily life can aid in conserving these vital species.

This year, they are raising $5,000 to support the specialized care of our sea turtle ambassadors, Emerald & Sapphire.

Each year, hundreds of sea turtles receive critical injuries from boat strikes. An expected outcome for this type of injury is a buoyancy imbalance which can negatively affect their quality of life and make them unable to survive in the wild. The Living Coast is home to an Atlantic green sea turtle and a Loggerhead sea turtle that both have sustained permanent injuries from a strike to their carapace.

Their partner in conservation at SoCal Sea Turtles will be hosting a special Talking Turtles presentation at the Living Coast on how boaters can follow easy safety tips to help our local sea turtles thrive in San Diego Bay and beyond!
