Help Florida Sea Turtles!

Sea Turtles Need Your Help!

Please help us protect the baby turtles! Every day at sunrise between June and October, our team patrols 26 miles of beach in Pinellas County looking for new sea turtle nests. We track down and mark the nests in order to give the eggs the best chance of hatching. We expect to have over 300 nests this season, and each nest can have over 100 eggs each!

Recently, we have lost funding, but have not given up! We will continue to patrol the beach and we need your help! Any denomination helps protect hundreds of baby turtles.

Donations go towards buying supplies for signage, stakes, mallets, & flagging tape (to rope off nests), and four wheel drive vehicles.

We appreciate your support in anything you can afford!
