The undeveloped shoreline of Masonboro Island Reserve is an ideal nesting site for sea turtles.
The N.C. Coastal Reserve and National Estuarine Research Reserve is looking for volunteers to join us as we walk the shoreline of Masonboro and look for signs of sea turtle nests and nesting activities.
We are hoping to have volunteers every morning, seven days a week, from the middle of May through the middle of August. Volunteers can sign up for as few or as many days as they wish and as fits with their schedules. Transportation to the island will be provided.
On Thursday, April 24th at 6:00 pm, we are having an information and training session at the UNCW Center for Marine Science auditorium at 5600 Marvin K Moss Lane, Wilmington. We will be discussing the natural history and ecology of these species and how you can be involved in our protection efforts.
Contact Maggie at ncnerr.volunteering@gmail.com to register for the training session or to learn more! Attending the training session is NOT required to volunteer during nesting season, so please do be in touch if you would like to help but are unable to attend the meeting.
Thanks!
