SWOT Grants

 

SWOT small grants help field-based sea turtle research and conservation projects realize their goals in each of SWOT’s four areas of focus: networking and capacity building, filling data gaps, conservation action, and behavior change. Since 2006, we have awarded 160 grants to 125 applicants in 57 countries and territories.
