Founded in 2008 and incorporated as a nonprofit in 2011, Southeast Regional Sea Turtle Network (SERSTN) supports sea turtle scientists, early career professionals, students, and volunteers by providing professional development and learning opportunities around the southeastern United States, including Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
SERSTN’s primary program is the Southeast Regional Sea Turtle Meeting, a biennial scientific meeting that is open to professional scientists, students, and volunteers, providing an engaging and impactful opportunity to network and share the latest research in a friendly, non-intimidating atmosphere.
