🌊 Details and Purpose

Your registration supports our resident sea turtles and our Tybee Sea Turtle Project. This year we are raising money for a beach utility vehicle to advance our response for nesting and injured sea turtles!

The Tybee Sea Turtle Project is a conservation project permitted through the Georgia Department of Natural Resources to monitor and protect sea turtles on Tybee Island. The project team locates and protects sea turtle nests on the island.

Our current resident sea turtles, Westie and Ossie, serve as Marine Debris Ambassadors while educating visitors on the impacts affecting sea turtle populations and our conservation efforts to protect them.
