Are you heading to the beaches of the Florida Keys? You might just have the chance to become a sea turtle hero — no cape required!
Each year, endangered sea turtles return to our shores to lay their eggs under the cover of night. Our dedicated Save-A-Turtle volunteers patrol the beaches at sunrise to find, mark and protect nests. But with miles of coastline and only so many eyes on the sand, it's possible to miss something — and that’s where you come in.
If you spot a nesting sea turtle or fresh turtle tracks, let us know!
📩 Just email us at: nesting@save-a-turtle.org
Before you report, remember these turtle-friendly tips:
🐢 Stay at least 50 feet away from any sea turtle
🌑 Avoid lights and keep voices low — bright lights and loud sounds can scare turtles away
🚫 Never touch or disturb turtles, nests, or hatchlings — they’re protected by law
By staying alert and respectful, you help ensure these ancient creatures can nest safely — and that thousands of tiny hatchlings have a chance to reach the sea.
Let’s keep the beaches clean, dark, and flat — and give sea turtles the peaceful nesting season they deserve.
Together, we can make waves for sea turtle conservation. 💚🌊
