The Sea Turtle Conservancy (STC) has a limited number of spaces for the public to join us on an outdoor daytime nest dig educational program. This is an opportunity to see how sea turtle scientists study the hatching success of loggerhead sea turtle nests in the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge. Following the nest excavation, there may be an opportunity to observe a live hatchling be released into the ocean, but this cannot be guaranteed. Nest digs, also known as Public Hatch Success Evaluations, are essential to sea turtle conservation efforts because the data collected helps scientists monitor how sea turtle populations are faring with an ever-changing nesting beach environment that has been impacted by humans. Learn what you can do to help save sea turtles.
Space is limited to 20 people per dig.
Cost is $6 per person, paid in advance, to reserve your space.
You are responsible for your own transportation to the Barrier Island Center. Additional details will be provided once you have made a reservation.
