Come join an evening of learning about Broward County's favorite marine reptilians, the sea turtles!  Following a debriefing about sea turtles, their habitats, and threats they face, participants walk the beach at this hotspot for nesting. During the walk, we will explain how & why nests are protected, about their incubation cycle and what commonly happens to the hatchlings on a densely urbanized beach like in Broward County.  We’ll discuss hatchling disorientation due to artificial lights, why this occurs and what YOU can do to make a difference.   

Please note, there is no promise or guarantee that you will see hatchings.  We will not visit or sit near nests that may hatch.  Our goal is to educate and inspire you during your time to ensure a fulfilling experience. If you are fortunate enough to witness these amazing animals, it will be something that you will never forget​. 

We will meet at Pompano Beach's North Ocean Park. Street parking only PLEASE pay for 4 hours of parking to ensure we are having a fufilling experience.
