Share the Beach

I'm dedicating this post to Basil who's at the beach (lucky dog!) with his wife this week! It's something I'd be interested in being involved with--if I was at the beach! I wonder if anyone would notice a tent on the beach?

"Share the Beach" is a sea turtle conservation program, the result of the collaborative efforts in Alabama of the Fish and Wildlife Service's Daphne Ecological Services Field Office and Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge; Gulf State Park; and numerous volunteers along the Alabama Gulf coast. Our mission is to monitor, protect, and minimize impacts to sea turtles and their hatchlings as part of a larger effort to enhance successful nesting along the Alabama coast. These goals are achieved through a variety of approaches, always combining biology with education so that the benefits of the activities extend beyond the actual relocation, hatching, or excavation of a nest.

Basil's post about the beach at PC w/a short video of the waves lapping on the beach! (He's just trifflin' wih us!)

Sorry I mangled this post! I tried over and over to get it right and just gave up! I could really use a tech class! It's about a good program the people along the gulf coast are doing to help the sea turtles, who nest from May to Oct, and come ashore to lay eggs on the beach. It's a good thing!
