***UPDATE***
We are thrilled with the response to the launch of Turtle Trails! All spots for the season were filled in less than 24 hours.
Due to the high level of interest, we are considering opening up additional days. Stay tuned for updates!
Are you curious about what it's like to participate in a Sea Aggie Sea Turtle Patrol? Join our Turtle Trails program to gain first-hand experience of surveying for sea turtle tracks and excavating eggs from a nest. You'll have the opportunity to embark on a 1-mile patrol walk, learn about our local sea turtle species, their nesting habits, how to identify tracks, the process of excavating eggs from a nest and why it's done, the human impacts on sea turtles, and how the GCSTR conservation programs are protecting these threatened and endangered species. The program takes place every other Friday at 9 am during nesting season, from April to July, at Babe's Beach (6477 Sewall Blvd in Galveston, TX). Currently, ages 12 and up are welcome.
Registration is required, and a liability waiver must be filled out.
