If it’s your life goal to see baby sea turtles hatch, make your way to Fort Lauderdale in Florida and take a tour with Sea Turtle Oversight Protection.
Not only is this experience life-changing and possibly tear-inducing, but it’s for a good and much-needed cause. All sea turtles are considered endangered and it is estimated that only 1 in 1,000 babies reach adulthood. There are a lot of natural predators, but even more manmade threats, including bright lights near the beaches and plastic pollution in the oceans.
Taking a tour will not only change the way you think and act but will give you the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see baby sea turtles hatch. You may even see a mom laying her eggs if you’re lucky!
