Protect Sea Turtles Forever Stamps
Celebrate the beauty and importance of sea turtles with the Protect Sea Turtles Forever Stamps from USPS. Issued in 2024, this commemorative stamp pane highlights six sea turtle species that depend on U.S. coastal waters for foraging and migration during different stages of their lives.
The stamp designs feature photographs of six protected sea turtles: Kemp’s ridley, leatherback, olive ridley, green sea turtle, loggerhead, and hawksbill. Each design captures the unique beauty of these remarkable marine animals, while the pane also includes an additional hawksbill sea turtle image in the selvage.
Designed by USPS art director Derry Noyes using existing photographs, this stamp issue celebrates awareness and protection of sea turtles, all of which are listed and protected under the Endangered Species Act.
This pane includes 18 First-Class Forever stamps. As Forever stamps, they will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce rate, making them a meaningful choice for letters, greeting cards, nature-themed mail, educational use, and collectors who appreciate wildlife and ocean conservation themes.
