Welcome to North East Sea Turtles (NEST) in Charlotteville, Tobago. We are a community based organization dedicated to the conservation of sea turtles. Through community awareness and research we hope to help Tobago’s sea turtle population thrive, while promoting sustainable practices in this unique ecosystem.

NEST is a small-scale environmental community based organization that aspires to protect the natural environment of the sea turtles in the North of Tobago.

The group was formed in 2004 by Ms. Patricia Turpin, Ms. Heather Pepe, Ms. Kitty Pepe, and supported in its formation by founding members of Save Our Sea Turtles (SOS) Tobago Mr. Gervais Alkins and Ms. Tanya Clovis. A board was recruited and NEST was officially registered in 2008.

Our Mission:
NEST’s mission is to monitor and protect the sea turtles; whilst at the same time striving to encourage the ecological and economic wealth that the turtles bring to the local community.
