GULF AND EAST BAY SEA TURTLE PATROL

Welcome!

We are a group of volunteers dedicated to the conservation and protection of sea turtles and shorebirds. Our mission is to provide help to ensure their survival, in the quest to save these endangered species, while raising awareness as much as we can. All of our work is carried out under a special FL marine permit.

Our patrol team handles Mexico Beach, St. Joe Beach, and Windmark Beach, in Gulf County, FLorida. Turtle season runs from May 1 to October 31. The endangered sea turtles consist of the Kemp's Ridley's, Green Turtles, Loggerheads, and Leatherbacks. Our endangered shorebirds consist of the Least Tern, Snowy Plover's, Wilson's Plovers, and Black Skimmers.
