This money is a donation directly to the sea turtle program, therefore no refunds will be given out for any reason. Preregistration and prepayment are required, no walk-ins are accepted. No artificial lights, cameras, or video equipment are permitted at the release site. The hatchling releases take place under darkness. Only authorized staff will have red LED flashlights to use periodically.
Details: Prepare yourself for the truly wonderful experience of witnessing endangered sea turtle hatchlings begin their great journey. Following a ~45-minute educational presentation on sea turtle conservation, the state of sea turtles, and the work carried out by the Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program at NSU, the group will caravan down to Hollywood North Beach Park to observe our sea turtle specialists release the hatchlings right on the sands of Hollywood Beach and wish them well as they make their journey to the wild blue ocean.
