    Story

    Local Ocean Conservation’s origins began in 1997 when residents became concerned for the sea turtle population in Watamu, Kenya, after seeing a dramatic increase in activities that threatened the safety of nesting turtles and their eggs. Volunteers began to conduct beach patrols to make sure that nesting turtles were safe from poaching and that their eggs were left untouched. This original conservation initiative, named Watamu Turtle Watch, grew to include the Turtle Bycatch Release Programme and the Turtle Rehabilitation Centre.

    Local Ocean Conservation is the leading sea turtle conservation organisation in Kenya and has protected over 750 sea turtle nests, conducted over 15,000 turtle releases and provided treatment for over 400 sick and injured sea turtles so far. There are 30 local schools involved in the Environmental Education Programme and we are actively working together with 15 community groups.Local Ocean Conservation is the leading sea turtle conservation organisation in Kenya and has protected over 750 sea turtle nests, conducted over 15,000 turtle releases and provided treatment for over 400 sick and injured sea turtles so far.

    To effectively tackle the marine conservation challenges in and around Watamu, the Environmental Education Programme, that teaches local school children about the importance of the marine environment, and the Community Outreach Programme, that works together with local community groups to explore ways to reduce reliance on marine resources, were launched.

    The two programmes are key to Local Ocean’s goal to make a difference in halting the declining population of turtle species. The programmes exist to ensure a long lasting change of attitude towards the conservation of valuable marine resources.
