Sea Turtle Oversight Protection

Sea Turtle Oversight Protection (STOP) is a non-profit organization based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, dedicated to the conservation and rescue of sea turtle hatchlings affected by light pollution. Comprised of local volunteers, STOP conducts nighttime nest surveys and monitoring to rescue and release disoriented hatchlings, ensuring their safe journey to the sea.

STOP's dedicated volunteers, ordinary individuals who have chosen to make a difference, work tirelessly for five to eight months each year to save the lives of these endangered baby sea turtles. Through their efforts, STOP aims to raise awareness about the impact of light pollution on sea turtles and promote the use of proper lighting practices to protect these magnificent creatures.
