Discover the dedicated efforts of local volunteers working tirelessly to monitor and protect endangered loggerhead and green turtles.

Attendees will gain insight into modern volunteer operations, which extend far beyond routine beach monitoring to include rapid stranding responses and community awareness initiatives.
