Learn about and observe the threatened loggerhead sea turtles nesting within the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge on Florida’s east central coast beaches.
The refuge is the largest nesting habitat for loggerhead sea turtles in the Western Hemisphere, has more endangered green sea turtles nest in the refuge than any other place in North America, and the world’s largest sea turtle - the endangered leatherback - nests in the refuge too.
Walks are offered by the Sea Turtle Conservancy and US Fish and Wildlife Service with hopes that the experience will inspire future naturalists and sea turtle advocates!
If interested, contact Heidi Grooms, Santuary Steward at the Barrier Island Center for dates and availability. Call 321-723-3556 during office hours, Tuesday through Sunday, 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Additional details provided with reservation.
