Saving Wildlife

EcoHealth Alliance’s Edge of the Sea Aquatic Conservation Program was created in 2001 to address urgent conservation issues in coastal areas and to save threatened species and improve local capacity for their protection and management. The primary goal of this program is to better ensure the survival and recovery of species such as manatees, sea turtles and North Atlantic right whales and to protect and preserve the habitats in which these species reside. EcoHealth Alliance conservation scientists strive to achieve this goal by strengthening the scientific foundation for resource decision-making and policy development and by incorporating the involvement of local scientists and conservationists.
