About Our Turtle Family
Passionate. Coffee addicted. Probably Crazy.
We are all volunteers. Regular people from all walks of life who have chosen to make a difference. For five to eight months out of the year, we re-arrange our lives to save disoriented sea turtle hatchlings. "Sea Turtle People" have to be a little crazy to get through the long nights, but the dedication of our volunteer staff is second to none. Being a STOP volunteer is the toughest job you will ever love.
Our Beginning
Our Mission
Our program has reduced the hatchling mortality rate by almost 50% in Broward County! We aim to provide a solution to a complex problem, to create awareness through education, to balance the scales and give the hatchlings a chance to begin their life.
Our Supporters
While there are many to mention, we would like to recognize a few supporters who have helped make STOP a reality, or who we just think are really cool.
