We are doing spring break programs out on the beach this year.
Nest Quest: Become a "beach walker" - follow the sea turtle tracks, uncover hidden nests and learn about conservation.
Preparation:
- Create "sea turtle tracks" from the water to the "nest" and back.
- Dig up a sea turtle nest where they should have nested and place ping pong balls into the nest.During the activity:
- Walk from Access 5 to access 6 and/or 4 where they will look for tracks.
- find tracks. dig for nest. carefully move eggs to a safer location if necessary, dig new hole, etc.
- put up nest protection site with stakes and flagging tape.
Meet at Beach acess 5 in surf city for 8:30am for prep or at KBSTRRC 8:00am if you want to come in the van.
