Turn the Tide for Sea Turtles

From June 8-16, join the Living Coast Discovery Center in celebrating Sea Turtle Week!

Together, we can turn the tide for sea turtles, wildlife, and our coastal environment. Sea turtles face increasing threats from pollution, habitat loss, and climate change. But there’s still hope. That’s why we’re inviting you to help Turn the Tide.

At the Living Coast Discovery Center, we work every day to connect community members to our coastal environment and inspire them to care for the natural world. Through immersive education, wildlife conservation awareness, and accessible outdoor programming, we’re building a more sustainable future for sea turtles and our coastal environment.
