Our Mission

The Catch Conservation Fund is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting and enriching fragile ecosystems around the globe. We work comprehensively with local governments and dedicated private organizations in developing countries to improve the natural surroundings on land as well as at sea. Our first mission is to save the endangered sea turtles of Costa Rica.

Hawksbill, Leatherback and Green Sea Turtles are all on the verge of extinction in the Eastern Pacific. Our goal is to bring these turtle populations back to sustainable levels, so our children’s children will have sea turtles around for years to come. It is our belief that the modern world can coexist in harmony with nature, so future generations will enjoy all of the wonder and beauty our earth provides.
