CheloniaCast is joined by Brad Nahill, cofounder and president of SEE Turtles, a unique conservation group pairing ecotourism with turtle conservation and focusing on the legacy of J Nichols. Brad has authored book chapters, blog posts, scientific abstracts, and case studies all with a focus on sea turtles and their plight. The conversation covers Brad’s experience founding SEE Turtles, and all the early chalenges involved in forming an ecotourism project that supports wildlife. The interesting component of this episode is the uniqueness of the conservation approach SEE Turtles champions. Uniting profit and conservation rather than the typical negative dynamic of profit and vulnerable fauna, and serving as a way to unite communities with their local sea turtle populations. There is also heavy emphasis on the legacy and impact of the late J Nichols, and his integral role in developing SEE Turtles and the Billion Baby Turtles initiative.
