Anyone else seen the new signs at Bonita Springs Dog Beach? No fishing, no smoking, no children under 5, no food, and 2 dogs per person are just a few of the posted rules on it. What do you think, are these rules too much or do you think they should add more to the list?

These are the most beautiful “shells” in our area if you ask me. Watching over these little ones as they hit the water is one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. Want to learn more or get involved? Contact SCCF for information and opportunities!

These little ones hit the water and just keep swimming until they get to deeper water and can find a patch of seaweed to float in for protection. They can swim for up to 24 hours straight! This activity was conducted by trained individuals operating under Marine Turtle Permit No.047

In 2023, our sea turtle team tagged a loggerhead sea turtle that we named after the late and great Dolly Parton. This year, Dolly Parton the sea turtle returned to Sanibel and laid three nests. So far, her nests have produced 108 hatchlings that have made their journey to the ocean.

Although we mourn the loss of this great country legend and environmentalist, her legacy will continue to live on through our important conservation research and monitoring.

Sea turtle hatchlings with SCCF
If I'm still doing this when one of these comes back to nest, I think it would only be right to name her Dolly Parton the II. This activity was conducted by trained individuals operating under Marine Turtle Permit No.047

It was a huge morning for my sea turtle shift! Tons of 3 day post hatch and 70 day nest inventories. Even helped a few hatchlings make their way to the Gulf! I feel truly blessed every time I get to experience baby sea turtles. Can’t thank the sea turtle volunteer program at SCCF enough for letting me live out my dream as a kid!
