The Turtle Custodians

A behind the scenes look at Bribie’s turtle conservation volunteers.

Ready to discover how volunteers protect Bribie’s nesting turtles?
Discover the dedicated efforts of local volunteers working tirelessly to monitor and protect endangered loggerhead and green turtles. This presentation traces the history of our conservation program, celebrating the hard-fought successes that have laid the foundation for today’s vital work.

Attendees will gain insight into modern volunteer operations, which extend far beyond routine beach monitoring to include rapid stranding responses and community awareness initiatives. Finally, the session confronts critical future challenges, highlighting how rising beach traffic, natural predators, and a lack of regulatory enforcement threaten nesting habitats - and what must be done next to ensure these species’ survival.
