Mission and programs · 2025

• In 2025, IRG successfully captured, tagged, sampled, and released over 600 threatened and endangered sea turtles across eight field sites throughout Florida. This effort included attaching five satellite tags to loggerhead turtles and 10 acoustic tags to juvenile green turtles to study their movements and migratory patterns. Biologists also partnered with universities, rehabilitation facilities, and aquariums to collect additional samples to support broader sea turtle conservation efforts. Findings from ongoing research were shared through peer-reviewed publications, regional and international conferences, and various social media platforms. This information was also incorporated into IRGs wide range of educational initiatives.

• IRGs education initiatives reached thousands of individuals through hands-on conservation programs spanning local, statewide, and international audiences. In 2025, our programs expanded across schools, Spanish-speaking communities, and global partner networks, reaching more than 30,000 participants through classroom education, community workshops, and international ambassador programs. Efforts included educator training, new program development, expanded partnerships, and culturally responsive conservation initiatives that strengthened environmental stewardship and increased access to science-based learning opportunities.

• IRG made significant progress on sea turtle abundance estimation and deterrent testing projects. In 2025, we completed our second season of saturation tagging on Hutchinson Island, with 1,869 captures representing 901 individual nesting sea turtles. We also collaborated with FPL and another vendor to complete construction of a test tank that will be used to evaluate behavioral deterrents designed to keep sea turtles away from anthropogenic hazards. In addition, IRG deployed three ARIS sonar systems at the end of 2025 to monitor the timing and location of sea turtle entry into the canal system. We also developed transects for offshore abundance surveys, using both visual observations and side scan sonar, to estimate the abundance of sea turtles that could potentially become entrained.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
