During June and July the Sea Turtle Conservancy (STC) has a limited number of spaces for the public to join us on a guided turtle watch to observe a nesting loggerhead sea turtle. Through this program, STC hopes that the experience of a guided sea turtle walk will help inspire future naturalists and sea turtle advocates. Florida’s beaches, especially along the east central coast in the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge, provide nesting habitat for more nesting loggerhead turtles than any place in the Western Hemisphere and more endangered green turtles than any place in North America. In addition, endangered leatherback sea turtles nest in the Carr Refuge.
Walks are conducted by STC on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday nights in June and July. Space is limited to 20 people per night. Cost is $20 per person, paid in advance, to reserve a space. Minimum age is 8 years old. You are responsible for your own transportation. Additional details will be provided once you have made a reservation.
