Origional Mission of the Caribbean Conservation Corporation (CCC), the world's first conservation organization devoted to sea turtles: Works to ensure the continued survival of sea turtles and related marine and coastal wildlife through research, education, advocacy, and protection of the natural areas where they live.
Background: Founded by the father of sea turtle biology, Dr. Archie Carr, CCC has provided much of the world's research on sea turtles and sparked a worldwide effort to help the animals survive. The organization was also the driving force behind one of the environmental movement's greatest success stories — the rescue of the endangered Caribbean green turtle from imminent extinction. CCC's geographic focus is the wider Caribbean, including the southeastern United States. The colonies of green turtles, loggerheads, hawksbills, and leatherbacks that nest at Tortuguero, Costa Rica, and in Florida, are among the largest remaining sea turtle populations in the Western Hemisphere. The CCC serves the entire Caribbean basin because of the highly migratory nature of sea turtles. In addition to its Costa Rican and U.S. programs, the organization sponsors projects in Bermuda, the Bahamas, and the eastern Caribbean.
The mission of Dolphin Project is to end dolphin exploitation and slaughter, as dolphins are routinely captured, harassed, slaughtered and sold into captivity around the world – all in the name of profit. Dolphin Project works not only to halt these slaughters, but also to rehabilitate captive dolphins for retirement and/or release, investigate and advocate for economic alternatives to dolphin slaughter, and to put a permanent end to dolphin captivity.
Save the Manatee Club was founded in 1981 by Bob Graham, former Florida Governor and U.S. Senator, and singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett. The Club was started with the mission to protect manatees and their habitat. Today, Save the Manatee Club is the world’s leading manatee conservation organization.
