Tybee Sea Turtles are making their way ashore for nesting. Join in our conservation efforts to help them have their best season yet!
🐢🌊 It’s that time of year again! Sea Turtle season has begun on Tybee Island! Keep an eye out for these magnificent creatures as they make their way to our shores. Let’s do our part to protect them and their nests.
📢 The season runs from May 1st to October 31st. The following information is from the Tybee Sea Turtle Project a conservation initiative of the Tybee Island Marine Science Center .
👫Volunteers will be out at dawn to walk the beach every single day, looking for signs of nesting. Here are some reminders for the season –
🐢 If you spot any sea turtle activity including a mom or sea turtle tracks, ✨ leave it alone ✨ volunteers need all the field signs to locate the eggs, so even well-intentioned marking of the crawl or body pit can make that impossible for us. Feel free to stay by it and wait on us, but leave it alone.
🐢 The beaches need to be dark, flat, and quiet. No lights, no sand castles left overnight, no big holes left behind, no tents and chairs as obstacles.
🐢 Help educate others. Many people who visit Tybee are unaware of basic sea turtle friendly habits. Help us help turtles by sharing what you’ve learned so that we can all keep turtles coming back to Tybee.
👉 For updates on the initiative be sure to follow: Tybee Island Marine Science Center
Tybee Sea Turtles benefit each time you stay with Mermaid Cottages. Portions of your rental goes to sea turtle conservation on Tybee Island and around the world. We invite you to “nest” in our happy little cottages near the sea and vacation with a purpose!
