Prepare yourself for the truly wonderful experience of witnessing endangered sea turtle hatchlings begin their great journey. The evening program begins with 7:45 check-in and presentations beginning at 8:00 pm at Nova Southeastern University&rsquo;s Halmos College of Arts and Sciences-Oceanographic Campus. Following a ~45-minute educational presentation on sea turtle conservation, the state of sea turtles, and the work carried out by the Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program at NSU, the SFAEP group will caravan down to Hollywood North Beach Park to observe our sea turtle specialists release the hatchlings right on the sands of Hollywood Beach and wish them well as they make their journey to the wild blue ocean. The presentation will take place inside the Guy Harvey Oceanographic Center, NSU&rsquo;s state-of-the-art research center, in the 3rd floor auditorium. The NSU campus is located at the far north end of Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park (notify gate attendant you are attending an event at NSU) on the west side of the road between the Coast Guard and Navy. All guests must attend the presentation prior to the release. Even though the release takes place at night, don&rsquo;t worry about not being able to see! There is always plenty of light on South Florida beaches at night. As such, no artificial lights, cameras, or video equipment are permitted at the release site. Authorized staff will have red LED flashlights to use periodically to aid in observing the release. All proceeds from tickets purchased for hatchling releases go directly toward furthering sea turtle conservation efforts at NSU. Because of this, all proceeds are treated as donations to the sea turtle program, and therefore no refunds will be given for any reason. Pre-registration and pre-payment are both required, and no walk-ins are accepted. ***There is no guarantee that hatchlings will be observed on any given night. The hatchling releases run by Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program are subject to change or cancellation if weather conditions are not favorable. The release will still occur in rain, but if lightning is present at the release site, the release portion will be cancelled. We will do our best to accommodate and reschedule due to a cancellation, but there are no guarantees. Again, there are no refunds, and all funds collected are a donation directly to the sea turtle program.
