The Sea Turtle Conservancy (STC), formerly known as Caribbean Conservation Corporation, is an American not-for-profit
501(c)(3) membership organization based in
Gainesville, Florida. It was incorporated, based on an earlier informal organization known as The Brotherhood of the Green Turtle,[1] in 1959 by
Joshua B. Powers, who was inspired by ecologist
Archie Carr's book The Windward Road, which documented threats to
sea turtles.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
