SEATRU is an organization that addresses all aspects of conservation, research and outreach of Malaysia’s sea turtles. At its core, it conducts research to help protect the sea turtles by integrating in-situ egg incubation with tagging and nesting research as well as conducting research on the turtle’s biology and ecology. Volunteers are recruited to provide public exposure to the conservation activities and learn ways to protect the turtles. SEATRU also engages with schools and universities to raise awareness on the protection of the turtles, as well as to drive research activities among young researchers and students of Malaysia in their holistic effort to protect this threatened population.
