Green Sea Turtle
Chelonia mydas
Largest green turtle rookery in the Western Hemisphere nests on our beach.
View details The longest continuous sea turtle monitoring project on Earth, protecting green, hawksbill, and leatherback turtles on 21 miles of Caribbean beach.
Based at the John H. Phipps Biological Field Station, our teams walk the beach through the night — tagging turtles, surveying tracks, and monitoring nest survivorship and hatching success.
Five decades of sustained protection has reversed the decline of green turtles in the Caribbean. Our goal now is to keep these populations healthy while supporting the local community through responsible turtle tourism.
Open to the public: day visits, a visitor centre, guided walks.
