Sea Turtles in Juno

By Linda Tancs

Loggerhead Marinelife Center is one of Florida’s most visited nonprofit scientific destinations focused on sea turtle research, rehabilitation, education and conservation. The site offers both public and private guided tours of their patients. One of the most exciting experiences is the guided turtle walk, returning this summer, when experienced Loggerhead Marinelife Center scouts patrol their designated section of Juno Beach in the evening searching for sea turtles while visitors enjoy an informative presentation on the plight of sea turtles and engage in a variety of hands-on learning experiences. If a loggerhead sea turtle emerges and begins her egg-laying process, then the group is led down to the beach to witness this unforgettable experience. A nesting event cannot be guaranteed on any given evening, but this popular experience books up quickly.
