OUR MISSION

Wildlife Trust's Edge of the Sea program was created in 2001 to address urgent conservation issues in coastal areas. The program strives to promote better management of coastal habitats to help ensure that ecosystems remain intact, endangered species survive, and coastal people and their descendents benefit from their lives at the edge of the sea.

Solid science, partnerships and local expertise are critical to the successful resolution of conservation issues. The Edge of the Sea aquatic conservation program has risen to this challenge to:

• Create solutions-based research;
• Recruit the best scientists;
• Leverage greater effectiveness through partnerships;
• Promote professional development and local institutional capacity.

Based in St. Petersburg Florida, the award-winning program is active in Alaska, Southeastern U.S., Argentina, Belize, Brazil, the Caribbean, Mexico and West Africa.
