About Turtle Island Restoration Network
For over 30 years, Turtle Island Restoration Network (TIRN) has been a leading advocate for the world’s oceans and marine wildlife. We are a non-profit organization that focuses on ocean and watershed conservation and restoration worldwide! We have projects taking place right here in the Gulf of Mexico, along with work being done in the Cocos Islands and at our headquarters in Olema, California. Our supporters, donors, and partners have played a massive role in our accomplishments the past 30 years. Over the years we have assisted in making the Kemp's Ridley the Texas State Sea Turtle, implementing Turtle Exclusion Devices (TEDs) in shrimping boats, establishing the Cocos- Galapagos Swimway, restoring a critical creek for coho salmon at the California San Geronimo site, and much more.
Turtle Island Restoration Network Mission
Our mission is to mobilize people in local communities around the world to protect marine wildlife and the oceans and inland watersheds that sustain them. Our work is buoyed by thousands of supporters, volunteers and pro bono professionals, who help us extend our network around the globe.
