Marine Biologist for A Day

Ever Wonder What a Day in the Life of a Marine Biologist is like?

Don't miss this opportunity to Monitor Sea Turtle nests incubating in the greenhouse. Nest escavation and Hatchling Release take place in December-February. Night Nest Patrols to rescue endangered nests Oct 20- Dec 20.

Daytime Activities:

Nursery Watch and Hatchling care

(Dec 10- Mar 20, 10am-3pm).

The greenhouse requires monitoring throughout the day to care for emerging hatchlings. Participants have the opportunity to watch newly hatched turtles emerging from their nests and learn how to care for them.

Nest Inventory & Hatchling Release

(Dec10- Mar 20, 4:30-6:30pm)

Participants assist in "Nest Clean Out" to free any hatchlings that may be trapped below debris. Hatchlings are then released at sunset.

Nighttime Activities

(Oct 20- Dec 20, midnight-2am or 4-6am)

MidNight Nest Rescue Patrols

We search the beach for turtle tracks, locate nests and relocate them to our Incubation Greenhouse. It's definitely possible to see turtles nesting on our Night Patrols!
