Partners

We have partnered with the International Seakeepers Society Asia and the Universiti Malaysia Terengganu to help us in protecting threatened sea turtles and their habitats. With this partnership we hope to be able to conserve, protect and increase the population of sea turtles for future generations, to raise awareness and inspire the local community to get involved. We thank everyone who has helped and supported Kapas Turtles and continues doing so.
