One our missions is to support the local sea turtle patrol and rescue team.  This team is permitted by the state to work with sea turtles. All work is permitted under MTP-24-272, 032. This volunteer program has limited funding and the volunteers have to use their own vehicles to transport injured and stranded sea turtles. That is where we come in! Our goal is to raise enough money to buy a transport vehicle and have it wrapped with a logo. 

Our Gulf Coast Turtle Watch volunteers reach out to locals and visitors by attending local events and supplying informational products to local business such as Leave No Trace and lighting. 

It is important for our organization to stay connected with our local businesses and government agencies.  Some of our objectives rely on their help such as lighting and awareness. 

Donations are our primary source of funding, but we also have some local fundraisers throughout the year. We have events where we partner with local businesses, and we also have our Gulf Coast Turtle Watch merchandise you can purchase in our shop.
