Blue Corridors for Turtles: Overview Brochure

Marine turtles are among the ocean’s most iconic species — yet 5 of the 7 remaining species are still threatened with extinction, and 44% of all migratory species, turtles included, are in decline. Blue Corridors for Turtles is the global initiative working to close that gap: combining genetic data from ShellBank with satellite tracking to map turtle migrations for the first time at a global scale, identify the populations most at risk, and define Important Marine Turtle Areas (IMTAs) for stronger, evidence-based protection.

This brochure gives a quick overview of the project — our goal, our 2025–2027 roadmap, and the partners driving it forward with WWF.
