The IUCN SSC Marine Turtle Specialist Group is a global network of scientists and conservationists operating under the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Species Survival Commission. It plays a central role in setting global conservation priorities for sea turtles, assessing species’ extinction risk for the IUCN Red List, and publishing regional conservation status reports.
For anyone researching the conservation status of a specific sea turtle species or region, MTSG’s regional reports and assessments are a foundational resource.
