Turtle Watch programs give park visitors an opportunity to learn about sea turtles and the role that the National Park Service plays in their conservation. While visitors are not guaranteed a view of a nesting sea turtle, the 2004 success rate exceeded 75%.
The National Park Service cares for the special places saved by the American people so that all may experience our heritage.
