Hatchling Release – Nightly July to August 2025 – Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program

July 7 - August 30

Check out our Conservation Partner Event below –

Come join NSU Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program Sea Turtle Specialists for a hatchling release this summer! Releases take place every night, except for Wednesdays and Fridays and will go through the end of August.

This is truly a one-of-a-kind experience! Learn about sea turtle conservation in South Florida and see how sea turtles start their life. Each nightly event will start with a presentation at NSU’s Guy Harvey Oceanographic Center, then to the beach to witness sea turtle hatchlings be released to start their journey.
**No artificial lights, cameras, or video equipment are permitted at the release site.**

⁠COST: $10/person
Tickets can be purchased via each night’s Facebook Event Page (@browardcturtles).  CLICK HERE FOR ALL EVENTS this summer.

All proceeds from tickets purchased for hatchling releases go directly toward furthering sea turtle conservation efforts at NSU. Because of this, all proceeds are treated as donations to the sea turtle program, and therefore no refunds will be given for any reason. Pre-registration and pre-payment are both required, and no walk-ins are accepted.

Dates are released in small batches on a weekly basis. If you do not yet see a date you are looking for, it has not yet been posted.

EVENT ADDRESS:
8000 N Ocean Dr.
Dania Beach, FL 33004

PLEASE NOTE: **Once capacity is reached, reservations will no longer be available for that date. Resale of reservations is not permitted. NO TICKETS WILL BE SENT OUT. **Names will be checked at the door.**

DISCLAIMER: Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program staff is predominately field based, meaning that they are not in the office very much during peak season due to high volumes of sea turtle activity – EMAIL COMMUNICATION PREFERED! Please use Chrome on a desktop computer to complete your purchase. If you have difficulty registering, please contact our office Monday-Friday, 9AM-3PM, at seaturtles@nova.edu.

*There is no guarantee that hatchlings will be observed on any given night. The hatchling releases
run by Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program are subject to change or cancelled if weather conditions are not favorable. The release will still occur in rain, but if lightning is present at the release site, the release portion will be cancelled. We will do our best to accommodate and reschedule due to a cancellation, but there are no guarantees.*
