WE GRATEFULLY ACCEPT DONATIONS FROM ANYONE IN A POSITION TO HELP

Here’s how we spend donation money:

  • Through donations we were able to purchase used patrol vehicles. We raise funds for expenses related to beach patrol (gas, insurance, maintenance, etc).
  • Consumable supplies like wooden stakes, caution tape, zip ties, trash bags, disposable gloves, etc.;  costs add up over time as we replace these supplies.
  • Education and outreach is a critical part of our mission, and it’s important to us to get kids of all ages excited about sea turtles and how important it is to protect them.
  • Needed educational and outreach supplies include books, posters, printed material and giveaways.
  • We visit many schools throughout the year and give out our sea turtle activity books and tattoos to our next generation of environmentalists.
  • Some of the equipment we need is more expensive: red light flashlights, grabbers, measuring wheels, cages, and tools.
  • Then there’s the really expensive scientific equipment we need like Spectrometers, and bigger items for our educational outreach.

Way to donate:

Got spare change or maybe a dollar or two? Drop it in one of our coin boxes like the RumFish Grill. Or, come to one of our education or cleanup events and drop it in the jar at our table.

You might wonder why we need donations since we have no paid staff. Our founder funded turtle patrol entirely from his own pocket for over thirty years. Once we incorporated as a non-profit in 2013, we were able to start taking donations to replace the ancient Jeep, purchase equipment and supplies, and expand our education and outreach efforts.
