Loggerhead Nest & Excavation Video
60 days of our work in 60 Seconds
Our Permitted beach walkers and turtle nest surveyors are a dedicated group of volunteers throughout the Keys who rise before the sun every day and patrol our beaches for turtle nests.  EVERY DAY, rain or shine! 

Once a nest is spotted, it is staked out and monitored until it hatches. Upon nesting, data such as species  and size (determined by tracks) are recorded.  After a successful hatch, the nest is excavated and data is collected and passed along to the State of Florida. This data is critical, as it helps provide an insight into the nesting habits, and hatchlings , along with an abundance of information that is used to help protect our beautiful sea turtles worldwide.

If you’d like to be a part of this special team, but are unable to physically join us, you can still help our volunteers by sponsoring a beach walker.  Your contribution purchases all of the supplies needed (t-shirt, bucket, tape, gloves, stakes,etc) , is tax deductible and 100% goes to help Save-A-Turtle do what we do best!  Thank you for your support!
