In 2025, STAR documented the highest number of sea turtle strandings and disorientations ever recorded in the USVI. As green turtle nesting numbers continue to rise, more turtles are becoming vulnerable to ongoing threats across the territory. This 2025 data highlights the challenges sea turtles are currently facing and the need for awareness and strategies to protect them in the USVI.

🚨Please remember to limit lights on the beach during nesting and hatching season. And if you see a turtle in distress or hatchlings going to the wrong way, please call our stranding hotline at 340-690-0474.
