Turtle Island Restoration Network (TIRN) is a global ocean conservation nonprofit focused on protecting marine biodiversity and the oceans that sustain life. Operating from offices in California and Texas, the organization engages in grassroots empowerment, consumer action, strategic litigation, hands-on restoration, environmental education, and advocacy for sustainable marine policies to catalyze long-lasting habitat protection and species restoration, including green sea turtles, whale sharks, and steelhead trout. Its work targets communities and stakeholders across local, national, and international levels, addressing threats to marine ecosystems and habitats from pollution and other human impacts. Based in Olema, California, the nonprofit employs a relatively small team and positions itself within the environmental services sector as a research- and community-driven conservation organization, emphasizing science-based approaches and collaborative action. Recently, TIRN has announced participation in events such as International Plastic Pellet Count Day and community-focused programs in Texas, reflecting ongoing efforts to address plastic pollution and promote habitat- and species-centered conservation activities.
