50th Anniversary

    The Bermuda Turtle Project celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2018 – making it by far the longest-continuous sea turtle conservation program that focuses on the animal in its marine environment. To celebrate the amazing milestone, STC and BZS have produced a beautiful documentary about the program.
