Description
TAMAR Project (an abbreviation of Tartarugas Marinhas, the Sea Turtles) is a Brazilian non-profit organization owned by the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation.

The project has since expanded to include protection of sharks and all the sea wildlife that are part of the environment in which the sea turtles live.
