Save Stranded Sea Turtles

Sea turtles help maintain healthy coastal and marine ecosystems, but a myriad of threats can leave these threatened and endangered turtles injured, sick, and stranded on the shore. The Sea Turtle Rescue Assistance and Rehabilitation Act will help secure stable funding for aquariums, zoos, and other accredited facilities to ensure more turtles can safely make their way back home.

Send a message to Congress today urging the passage of the Sea Turtle Rescue Assistance and Rehabilitation Act.

I’m reaching out to share my strong support for the Sea Turtle Rescue Assistance and Rehabilitation Act (H.R. 347, S. 843).

Every species of sea turtle in U.S. waters is currently listed as threatened or endangered, and their populations continue to struggle because of human-caused threats. The Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network is composed of more than 50 organizations around the country that are permitted to respond to and/or rehabilitate sea turtles that are struggling. The Network works in collaboration with government agency partners to save sea turtles and educate the public about the conservation of these vulnerable marine animals. Although maintaining this network is part of every sea turtle species recovery plan, there is inadequate funding available to support this important work. The Sea Turtle Rescue Assistance and Rehabilitation Act addresses this gap by establishing a small grant program to fund sea turtle rescue and rehabilitation.

This bill will make a tangible difference for the organizations on the front lines of preventing the further declines of these iconic and treasured species. I urge you to cosponsor and support final passage of this important legislation.

Sincerely,
