Sea Turtle Oversight Protection

10/13/2026

For more than 50 years, the Endangered Species Act has been the reason sea turtles still swim off Florida's coast. In 2026, the federal government rolled back four of its core protections:
1️⃣ Habitat destruction no longer counts as "harm"
2️⃣ "I didn't mean to" is now a defense
3️⃣ Newly threatened species get fewer protections
4️⃣ Critical habitat is easier to erase

All four are being challenged in court — and S.T.O.P. is watching. Read the full story, in plain English, at the link in our bio. 🐢

Join the mission. Resist extinction. Vote NO on Amendment 3.

We're catching one last wave. 🌊🐢 Join us Sunday, September 27 at WMODA for The Last Splash, the farewell to their Splash! exhibition. We'll be there with a sea turtle friendly lighting exhibit, showing how the right light on our beaches helps hatchlings find the ocean instead of the road.

Come see it, meet our volunteers, and learn how you can protect nesting turtles long after the tide goes out.

📍 WMODA, Hollywood
🕙 10am to 4pm
🎟️ FREE with pre-registration: https://www.wmoda.com/the-last-splash/

They can’t protect themselves, but we can.

Every year, nests face countless threats from predators, sea level rise, climate change 🥵 and human activity. With your support, we can expand our conservation efforts and give these hatchlings the fighting chance they deserve. Help us rescue and release these sea turtles because every single donation counts toward saving a life. Please consider chipping in to support our mission today!
