Hosted by Upwell and the West Coast Sea Turtle Society.

The West Coast Sea Turtle Symposium is made up of non-profits, scientists, universities, community members, and state and federal agencies united in the conservation of sea turtles along our coastline. The first WCSTS was held in 2022 in Long Beach California and then in 2024 in San Diego California. This year we will be taking the event to Monterey California.

As we continue to grow, we look to create a platform for early career scientists to develop skills through workshops, share their work, and connect and learned from professionals established in the field.

We look forward to seeing you at the Monterey Conference Center on November 3rd and 4th!
