Join our program and be part of a growing movement of young marine conservationists. Over the course of your 6-day stay, you will spend several hours working alongside the volunteers and interns of the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Hospital. As you help prepare food, clean tanks, and provide care you will comprehend the enormous amount of time, effort, and love devoted to each turtle. Each day we will explore different coastal habitats from maritime forests to salt marshes to the ocean’s edge. By understanding these ecosystems we will better appreciate the plight of the sea turtle. Since the Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network began keeping records in 1986 the number of stranded turtles has more than doubled, indicating that these creatures are in desperate need of our support.
