Sea Turtle, Inc. in South Padre Island, Cameron County, United States | Animal Welfare

Sea Turtle, Inc. was founded in 1977 by Ila Loetscher, better known as "The Turtle Lady of South Padre Island." STI was formed to aid and assist in the protection of Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtle - and to ultimately restore the ridley population to a level that will ensure its survival.
Through the years STI has expanded its scope to actively support the conservation of all marine turtle species. To achieve its goals, STI provides educational programs to schools, tourist bureaus, civic organizations and new media.
Sea Turtle, Inc. - a not-for-profit organization - assists and supports the United States Dept. of the Interior with their efforts to establish a nesting beach for the Kemp's ridley sea turtle within the National seashore protected area of North Padre Island, off the coast of Corpus Christi.
