Volunteer.

We can always use more dedicated volunteers that can commit their time to this worthy cause. Morning Patrol starts as early as 6:00 am and can last several hours. The schedule is flexible with individual hands-on training. You will be gathering information important to the long term survival and understanding of the sea turtles. The season begins with Turtle Fest in April and we have one meeting each month during turtle season. Click the link below to complete a Volunteer Application.
