The goals of the Leatherback Watch Program are to work collaboratively with charter vessels, research expeditions, local yacht clubs an individuals to compile, record and communicate any and all sightings of leatherback sea turtles off the coasts of California, Oregon and Washington. We monitor sightings of critically endangered Pacific leatherback sea turtles for education and conservation purposes and seek to raise awareness about issues relating to leatherbacks and the program itself. less ↑
