and have hands on sea turtle conservation experiences.
Leatherback Nest Collection
Sea Turtle nests usually hatch at night. and the first turtles emerge in the early
morning. Once the nests become active they need to be monitored around the clock. Nests then need to be escavated and inventoried
to free any trapped hatchlings that didn't emerge on their own.
Participants will assist in excavations, record data on nest contents, measure and care
for hatchlings, and help manage hatchling releases.
