Guided Sea Turtle Walks with Brevard County EEL ProgramLearn 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.


Sea Turtle ConservancyWalks 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!
