It's a terrific turtle Tuesday with the arrival of nest 💯 and beyond! Our momma turtles are super busy each night, and it's up to all of us to ensure their success in their very important missions. Please continue to do your part to clear the way at the end of the day by removing all beach equipment, filling in holes and leveling sand sculptures, and turning lights off or only using turtle-friendly lights. We hope to welcome many more mommas to our beach this season!🐢
St. Joseph Peninsula Turtle Patrol & Forgotten Coast Sea Turtle Center
Through our interactions with visitors to the Forgotten Coast Sea Turtle Center, beach-goers during nesting season, and inquirers from around the world, we are working hard to educate the public about the importance of sea turtles and the ways we all can help them.
Leave No Trace & Keep Lights Off
Help our visiting sea turtles at night:
- Clear the way at the end of the day by removing all beach equipment.
- Fill in holes and level sand sculptures.
- Turn lights off or use turtle-friendly red lights.
- Our sea turtles dig the beach CLEAN, FLAT, and DARK.
