Join us on a Guided Sea Turtle Walk!
During June and July the Brevard County Environmentally Endangered Lands (EEL) Program through it's partner the Sea Turtle Conservancy (STC) has a limited number of spaces for the public to join us on a guided sea turtle walk from the Barrier Island Center. Through this program, the EEL Program and 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 both STC and the US Fish and Wildlife Service on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday nights from June 3 to August 2, 2013. Space is limited to 22 people per night. Cost is $15 per person, paid in advance, to reserve your space.
If you are interested, you can reserve your space online starting May 1 at www.seaturtlewalks.org.
Additional details will be provided once you have made a reservation.
