Help rescue and protect threatened sea turtles in the Gulf of Mexico and conserve critically endangered leatherback sea turtles around the world.

Empower Students to Make a Real Difference for Sea Turtles
The Big Gift Sea Turtle Initiative challenges students with EDSS: Sea Turtles, an exciting, standards-based activity that teaches basic facts about sea turtles and gives the lowdown on their status in the Gulf and around the world. Follow the activity with a quick fundraiser that provides students with the opportunity to share their scientific expertise and spread the word about sea turtle conservation. Set a goal and conduct a coin drive—easy as 1-2-3.

Act today! After a summer of bad news for sea turtles, students are returning to school eager to help. Give them a way to make a world of difference!

Turtle biologists and students excavate a nest at Playa Grande, Costa Rica, where Big Gift donations help secure the beach for sea turtle conservation. Tiny hatchlings emerged from the nest and made their way into the Pacific 48 hours earlier.
Don’t have time for a fundraiser but still want to help? Your donation to the Sea Turtle Initiative—together with donations from thousands of students, teachers and families—will make a real difference for sea turtles in the Gulf and around the world.
