Welcome to Sea Turtle Inc.,
located in South Padre Island Texas on the Gulf of Mexico.
Sea Turtle, Inc. was
founded in 1977 by Ila Loetscher, better known as "The Turtle
Lady of South Padre Island." STI was formed to aid and assist in
the protection of Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtle - and to ultimately
restore the Ridley population to a level that will ensure its
survival.
Through the years STI has expanded its scope to actively support
the conservation of all marine turtle species. To achieve its
goals, STI provides educational programs to schools, tourist
bureaus, civic organizations and news media. Sea Turtle, Inc. -
a not-for-profit organization - assists and supports the United
States Dept. of the Interior with their efforts to establish a
nesting beach for the Kemp's Ridley sea turtle within the
National seashore protected area of North Padre Island, off the
coast of Corpus Christi. You can view the turtles at Sea Turtle
Inc. on the live web cam. |
