Volunteering - Sea Turtle Monitoring

PublishedNov 20 2008, 04:36 PMbyadmin

Writer/Producer: Lynne Howard Frazer

Although they have survived for millions of years, sea turtle populations are plummeting -- and volunteers are working to help protect the precious eggs laid on southwest Florida's beaches -- and ensure the survival of these ancient mariners. Both the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation and Turtle Time, Inc. rely on volunteers to serve as "sea turtle sentinels" during the summer nesting season. Volunteers help locate and protect sea turtle nests, and serve as roving ambassadors for the mammoth mothers and their beguiling babies.
