Sea Turtle Conservation Nesting Ride-Along

Embark on an exclusive ride-along adventure with the CMA sea turtle patrol team!

You will be fully immersed during this educational excursion on the beach with Clearwater Marine Aquarium's sea turtle nesting biologists. Learn about the sea turtle nesting process, hatchlings, and how the CMA team patrols our local beaches every day as part of our sea turtle conservation program.

This unique ride-along opportunity will offer a first-hand view of the challenges sea turtles face with the impacts of artificial lighting, sand holes, and items left on the beach. You will learn ways we can all help protect these endangered species and other wildlife while enjoying our beautiful beaches.
