Thought this deserved it's own thread:


Let's build awareness. This can be a forum for hatch dates and times, community support and opportunities to volunteer!

Hey Hop - we have a thread going here - Sea Turtle Info - SoWal Beaches Forum

I wouldn't mind being more organized if we can get some input from South Walton Sea Turtle Watch - there's info on activities here - http://www.seaturtlewatch.com/newnests.html

The South Walton Turtle Watch is a group of volunteers whose purpose is to locate endangered and threatened sea turtle nests and to protect them along the beaches of NW Florida during the crucial nesting and hatching season.

By law, Only certified members are allowed to interact with endangered sea turtles.

Sea turtles are protected by the Endangered Species Act and only those with special permits are allowed to touch the nests, turtles, or hatchlings. There is a $2,500.00 reward for information leading to the conviction of violators. To report a violation, contact a State, Federal, or local law enforcement officer.
