Making Our Beaches Safer
for Sea Turtles

Ensure 1,300+ nests have been laid under our watch
Watch 75,000+ hatchlings emerge from nests and make it safely to sea
Remove 10,000+ pieces of trash from beaches each year

+

SEA TURTLE NESTS PROTECTED

+

HATCHLINGS EMERGED FROM NESTS & SAFELY TO SEA

+

PIECES OF TRASH REMOVED FROM PINELLAS COUNTY BEACHES EACH YEAR

Sea Turtle Nest Monitoring

Every day during nesting season, from May to October, our volunteers patrol
the beaches of St. Pete Beach, Shell Key and Outback Key. We find, mark and
protect new nests, so hatchlings can make it safely to the Gulf.

Sea Turtle Stranding & Salvage

Year round, Sea Turtle Trackers responds to calls about stranded turtles. Live turtles are
transported to authorized rehabilitation centers for care.

Community Outreach & Conservation

We work cooperatively with our local community to improve the condition of our beaches. Our goal is to make our area as turtle friendly as possible while helping visitors and residents enjoy this great place. We organize beach clean-ups throughout the year, which is a quick and easy way to get involved!
