SEE Turtles Launches Crypto Campaign to Save Sea Turtles and Clean Up Oceans

Goal: $350,000 by End of 2025

SEE Turtles, a renowned global sea turtle conservation organization, has launched a groundbreaking crypto fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $350,000 by the end of 2025. The funds will support vital conservation projects around the world, from saving baby turtles on nesting beaches to cleaning up plastic waste from coastal communities.

To date, SEE Turtles has raised just over $175,000 in crypto donations helping to save endangered species and restore vital ocean habitats. This support has resulted in:

●  Saving 600,000 baby turtles across 15 nesting beaches.

●  Supporting 7 coastal communities in recycling efforts, collecting over 80,000 lbs of plastic and recycling 15,000 lbs.

●  Launching the award-winning SEE Shell app, using AI to identify illegal turtle shell products.

●  Reaching 8 million people through Sea Turtle Week to raise awareness about sea turtle conservation.

But SEE Turtles’ work is just beginning.

"Our ability to accept cryptocurrency has allowed SEE Turtles to dramatically expand our mission and help more sea turtles and coastal communities around the world," Brad Nahill, President of SEE Turtles. "The funds raised through this campaign will go directly towards protecting nesting beaches, supporting sustainable livelihoods, and combating illegal poaching."

Campaign Goals
The campaign’s goal to reach a total of $350,000 in crypto donations will help meet the following targets:

  • Billion Baby Turtles: $150,000 to save 1.5 million baby turtles across 30 nesting beaches.

  • Sea Turtles & Plastic: $100,000 to clean up 100,000 lbs of plastic and expand recycling programs to 15 coastal communities.

  • Too Rare To Wear: $50,000 to launch public awareness campaigns in Colombia, Panama, and Indonesia to combat the trade in turtleshells.

  • Emerging Leaders Initiative: $25,000 to support ten emerging conservation leaders from coastal communities investing in local workforce development.

  • Sea Turtle Week: $25,000 to support an outreach campaign that will reach millions of people with messages about how to help sea turtles worldwide.
