We are excited to be starting sea turtle nesting season this year! Not only will we be performing our Hatchling orientation research, we will be adding CSI-Crawl Scene Investigations, meaning we are determining vital rates for sea turtle hatchlings, including cause of death if they did not make it to the water.

We are also  ready to assist FWC in marking some of their nests that they will be researching this summer. 
What does this mean? It means we will be on the beach pretty much every day from June to October, WOW!

We are so excited to start the 2022 sea turtle nesting season! The expected funding for our  sea turtle hatchling research projects on hatching orientation indexing is no longer available and we are in need of community support. Hatching orientation is important to determine vital rates for sea turtles during the nesting journey from hatching out to racing to the sea and we need your help to do this important work in on Brevard’s coastal beaches in our very own backyard! Join us today through financial support or volunteering to help us save sea turtles.

We are excited to share we have begun discussion with Brevard County Code Enforcement on how we can serve sea turtles better and reduce artificial lighting on our Brevard coastline. 
We are meeting again in 1 week to discuss how we can all have a better impact. 

We have hosted our First Seaside Jeopardy event at Aquarina Country Club to share information about light science and sea turtles. 

Hotel Melby Hosted us for their Meaningful Monday!

Project Description

The work we perform helps maintain the quality and quantity of nesting habitat for marine turtles, reduce the impacts of beachfront lighting on critical nesting beaches, reduce human related mortality of all life stages of Florida's marine turtles, identify and eliminate factors that reduce the natural productivity of nesting beaches and educate communities about the promotion of sea turtle population recovery. 
The support you provide allows us to do this and we thank you.

hatchling orientation is research performed to identify how well baby sea turtles make it to the ocean and determine their rate of survival. 

Project Needs

Each one of our programs has a special role in enhancing the human experience with this planet. We strive to provide local communities encounters with wildlife and assist with sharing information leading to ecosystem protection and management. 

We need support for research projects, conservation materials, educational outreach and internships. 

Project Schedule

On going, May to October yearly. 

Project Beneficiaries

Local Communities, global fishing industries, sea turtles and all marine creatures.
