LAUDOPO

The Laúd OPO Network was established in 2015, but has roots back to 2012 when more than thirty regional and international leatherback sea turtle biologists, researchers, NGOs, and experts came together to develop a plan to stabilize and recover East Pacific leatherback turtle populations within ten years. Today, the Network includes over 70 members... We are a group united by a common goal: recovering the leatherback turtle population (Dermochelys coriacea) in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. The Eastern Pacific Leatherback Turtle Conservation Network (Laúd OPO) has members from all over the Americas, from the United States to Chile. Many of these people are scientists, local people, fishermen, and organizations who work towards sea turtle conservation, especially leatherback turtles, along with coastal communities in their own countries... Our partners come from all over the world and across industries. We work with NGOs, government agencies, researchers, and the private sector...
