Ancient sea turtles, known for their long lifespans and incredible migrations, face numerous modern threats. These include plastic and light pollution, fishing gear entanglement, sea-level rise, and ocean acidification. Our staff has worked for decades to protect these amazing reptiles.

We recently celebrated significant wins, securing new protections for leatherback sea turtles in California and critical habitat for green sea turtles on both coasts. These successes highlight our ongoing commitment to their survival.

Learn more about our sea turtle conservation efforts and how you can contribute. Our Florida director, Jaclyn Lopez, and senior Oceans program attorney, Catherine Kilduff, will lead the presentation.

Humanitarian aid volunteer Scott Warren faces up to 20 years in prison for providing food, water, and shelter to two undocumented migrants in Arizona's Sonoran Desert. An activist with Tucson-based No More Deaths, Warren is charged with three felony counts of "harboring" undocumented immigrants.

His arrest on January 17, 2018, occurred hours after No More Deaths released a report and video detailing U.S. Border Patrol agents intentionally destroying over 3,000 gallons of water left for migrants. Authorities subsequently raided "the Barn," a No More Deaths aid camp, where the two migrants were found. This story was published by Democracy Now! on May 29, 2019.
