Sea TURTLES

sustainaBle traVel in Indian riVer countY

Protecting our natural beauty—especially our sea turtle nesting beaches—depends on all of us. When you visit, you’ll find easy and meaningful ways to help keep Indian River County pristine for generations to come. Here are a few ways you can join in:

Beach Baskets

Look for the free Beach Baskets at many of our public beach access points. These simple baskets are there for you to use while enjoying the sand—pick one up, collect any debris you see, and help leave the beach even cleaner than you found it.

coastal cleanups

Want to make an even bigger impact? Join a Coastal Cleanup during your visit! These events bring the community together to remove debris from beaches, lagoon-front parks, and walkways. It’s a hands-on way to give back to the place you came to enjoy.

Fishing line recYcling

Anglers can help protect sea turtles, manatees, and other wildlife by using the colorful monofilament recycling tubes located at beach accesses, piers, jetties, and boat ramps. Place used fishing line and tackle inside so it can be safely recycled and kept out of the water.

wrap recYcling

Your sustainability efforts don’t have to stop at the beach. Once you’re home, look for local WRAP (Wrap Recycling Action Program) collection sites where you can recycle plastic bags and wraps. Small steps like these help keep plastics out of our waterways and oceans.

www.coastal-connections.org

*reminder, Sea Turtle season occurs in Florida from March 1 - October 31, so please be mindful to keep our beaches clean, not disturbing or touching any nests, and if you choose to walk at night please no white lights or flash.

Stretching across 22.4 miles of pristine shoreline, Indian River County’s beaches are some of the most important sea turtle nesting grounds in the world. From the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge and Sebastian Inlet State Park to Round Island Beach Park, these sandy shores host thousands of nests each year. Loggerhead and green sea turtles are the most common visitors, and their nesting activity plays a vital role in keeping our coastal ecosystem thriving.

Every summer, nonprofit Coastal Connections offers guided, permitted Turtle Walks at night and Turtle Digs during the day— giving you a rare chance to witness these ancient mariners up close. Along the way, you’ll discover how sea turtles protect our oceans, why their survival is so critical, and simple ways you can help them move off the endangered species list. For dates and details, visit their website or follow them on social media.
