Sea Turtle Washback Watchers - Volusia County

Are you an avid beach walker who is interested in volunteering your time to look for more than just seashells along the beach?

If you are, join the Washback Watcher program! This team of permitted volunteers is trained to find and rescue young sea turtles that wash ashore due to heavy winds and surf (August through November).

Volunteers help us look for sea turtles among accumulations of seaweed along their favorite section of beach during the months of August through November. Training takes place each June or July.
