Hilton Head Island Sea Turtle Patrol

Sea Turtle Patrol Hilton Head Island provides monitoring and support on Hilton Head Island beaches for sea turtle nesting and hatching activity annually, May – October. Stranding Response provides documentation of stranded sea turtles and transport for injured sea turtles to the SC Aquarium's Sea Turtle Care Center in Charleston for treatment. These programs, along with spreading awareness through public education and outreach, are essential to promote the continued existence of these endangered species.
