ACES ~ American Crocodile Education Sanctuary, founded in Belize, is expanding to Southwest

Florida. ACES is committed to the conservation of Crocodilians through scientific research and

facts about gator biology and behavior; offer as a public outreach ACES's educational

presentations to schools or public events; and offer our expert services of investigating serious

alligator, or crocodile, concerns as a proactive method of reducing gator-human conflicts.

Finally, address our cause of requesting the FWC to stop animal cruelty by banning the use of

'unattended baited hooks' by contracted nuisance gator trappers.
