Protecting our Sea Turtles

Turtles are magnificent animals of prehistoric origins and appearance. The endangered Loggerhead turtle and the vulnerable Flatback turtle and Green turtle emerge annually from the ocean to nest on Bundaberg beaches, especially in the world renowned turtle rookery at Mon Repos.

Sea Turtle Alliance is a volunteer based organisation dedicated to the protection of our sea turtles.  Incorporated in July 2015 the Sea Turtle Alliance Management Committee is comprised of  experienced guides and turtle researchers with  experience in turtle research culminating in a  total of  145 years.

The Sea Turtle Alliance has links to  community organisations and works closely with Queensland Parks and Wildlife, Bundaberg Regional Council and Department of Environment and Science. To date we have been active in lobbying for better lighting (and raising awareness of the impact) for our region, better signage and increased vegetation on our turtle nesting beaches.  We have also been active in providing planning feedback to Council to ensure that the preservation and conservation of the sea turtles are considered in future developments.

We are passionate about sea turtles and protecting them and dedicate our time to help ensure the ongoing survival of these magnificent sea creatures.
