African Chelonian Institute – Senegal (2020)

African Chelonian Institute will use its 2020 SWOT grant to host the inaugural “Senegal National Sea Turtle Days,” a three-day event that will be held in the coastal towns of Joal-Fadiouth and Palmarin to raise awareness about sea turtles and ocean pollution with special attention to plastic waste. This event will become an annual activity that will inspire community members to integrate ocean-friendly behaviors into their everyday lives.
