Join SCCF’s Coastal Wildlife Biologists and Sanibel Sea School’s Educators for a rare and meaningful experience—witnessing sea turtle hatchlings begin their journey to the ocean! Each session starts with a 20–30 minute educational program at Sanibel Sea School, where participants will learn about sea turtle biology, conservation efforts, and the significance of a hatchling release. Then, we’ll travel together to a nearby beach to observe as hatchlings make their way to the Gulf under the cover of darkness. Led by trained staff and biologists, this small-group experience ensures a respectful, quiet, and controlled environment for the safety of the turtles and the enjoyment of attendees. Schedule: 7:30 PM – ~9:00/9:30 PM Meeting Location: Sanibel Sea School, 455 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel, FL Cost: Free (optional donation to support sea turtle conservation) Note: No flash photography or lights allowed during release. Registration is required for all attendees, including children. Minors must attend with an adult.
