George started surveying in 1994, both Santa Rosa and Okaloosa Counties. 2008 Sara came on to help and 5 yr later Emerald Coast Turtle Watch and the Educational Beach Walks were formed. Along with the monitoring of nests and hatchlings.

YAYAY. Last night Loggerhead sea turtles emerged from nest on this beach. Many went straight to the gulf just like they should. Several hatchling got disorientated and went up to the dunes. Thank you to the owners and guests that helped us find 9 hatchlings that have been taken to the Gulfairium Care Center. Happy to see this nest hatch as it did have water on it from storms and had been disturbed by people. Many adults and children got stickers, red flashlights and valuable information to help our sea turtles. And many pictures. Thank you to Holiday Surf and Racquet Club for keeping your beaches clean, flat and dark with proper turtle lighting. Sea turtle nesting season ends October 31st. All work performed on permit FWC MTP -033.
