Turn the Tide for Sea Turtles
From June 9-16, 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.

Visit the Living Coast for World Sea Turtle Day Programming:
Celebrate the culmination of Sea Turtle Week at the Living Coast with special programming on Saturday and Sunday, June 14-15.
World Sea Turtle Day is celebrated annually on June 16 to honor and highlight the importance of sea turtles. These creatures, like any other creature, are magnificent in their own way. Not only are sea turtles beautiful animals, but they also show incredible perseverance and resiliency – after all, they have been nesting on beaches for millions of years. The date, June 16, was chosen in honor of Dr. Archie Carr’s birthday, who is the founder of the Sea Turtle Conservancy and “father of sea turtle biology.”
