International Sea Turtle Society

The International Sea Turtle Society (ISTS) is a global organization focused on the conservation and research of sea turtles and their habitats. Founded in 1980, the society brings together scientists, conservationists, and educators to share knowledge and develop strategies for protecting these endangered species. It organizes conferences, publishes research, and promotes awareness about the threats sea turtles face, such as habitat loss and plastic pollution. By fostering collaboration among its members, the ISTS aims to ensure the survival of sea turtles for future generations and to maintain the health of marine ecosystems.
