SUMMARY:SOLD OUT: Tortuga Hatchling Release Sponsored by Rock The Ocean
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT – DUE TO OVERWHELMING INTEREST THIS EVENT HAS SOLD OUT. \nRock The Ocean is sponsoring a sea turtle hatchling event with Nova Southeastern University’s Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program. \nPrepare yourself for the truly wonderful experience of witnessing endangered sea turtle hatchlings begin their great journey. The evening program begins at 8PM at Nova Southeastern University’s Halmos College of Arts and Sciences-Oceanographic Campus. Following a ~45-minute educational presentation on sea turtle conservation\, the state of sea turtles\, and the work carried\nout by the Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program at NSU\, the group will caravan down to Hollywood North Beach Park to observe our sea turtle specialists release the hatchlings right on the sands of Hollywood Beach and wish them well as they make their journey to the wild blue ocean. \nThe presentation will take place inside the Guy Harvey Oceanographic Center\, NSU’s state-\nof-the-art research center\, in the 3rd floor auditorium. Our campus is located at the far north end of Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park (notify gate attendant you are attending an event at NSU) on the west side of the road between the Coast Guard and Navy. All guests must attend the presentation prior to the release. \nCost: $10.00/ticket \nAll 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. \nPresentation Start Time:\n8:00PM \nPresentation Location:\n3rd Floor Auditorium at the Guy Harvey Oceanographic Center\n8000 N Ocean Dr.\nDania Beach\, FL 33004 \nNo artificial lights\, cameras\, or video equipment are permitted at the release site. Authorized staff will have red LED flashlights to\nuse periodically to aid in observing the release. \n*There is no guarantee that hatchlings will be observed on any given night. The hatchling releases\nrun by Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program are subject to change or cancellation if weather\nconditions are not favorable. The release will still occur in rain\, but if lightning is present at the release site\,\nthe release portion will be cancelled. We will do our best to accommodate and reschedule due to a\ncancellation\, but there are no guarantees.*

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT: Tortuga Hatchling Release Sponsored by Rock The Ocean
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT! \nYou asked and we listened! \nRock The Ocean is sponsoring a second sea turtle hatchling event with Nova Southeastern University’s Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program. \nPrepare yourself for the truly wonderful experience of witnessing endangered sea turtle hatchlings begin their great journey. The evening program begins at 8PM at Nova Southeastern University’s Halmos College of Arts and Sciences-Oceanographic Campus. Following a ~45-minute educational presentation on sea turtle conservation\, the state of sea turtles\, and the work carried\nout by the Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program at NSU\, the group will caravan down to Hollywood North Beach Park to observe our sea turtle specialists release the hatchlings right on the sands of Hollywood Beach and wish them well as they make their journey to the wild blue ocean. \nThe presentation will take place inside the Guy Harvey Oceanographic Center\, NSU’s state-\nof-the-art research center\, in the 3rd floor auditorium. Our campus is located at the far north end of Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park (notify gate attendant you are attending an event at NSU) on the west side of the road between the Coast Guard and Navy. All guests must attend the presentation prior to the release. \nCost: $10.00/ticket \nAll 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. \nPresentation Start Time:\n8:00PM \nPresentation Location:\n3rd Floor Auditorium at the Guy Harvey Oceanographic Center\n8000 N Ocean Dr.\nDania Beach\, FL 33004 \nNo artificial lights\, cameras\, or video equipment are permitted at the release site. Authorized staff will have red LED flashlights to\nuse periodically to aid in observing the release. \n*There is no guarantee that hatchlings will be observed on any given night. The hatchling releases\nrun by Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program are subject to change or cancellation if weather\nconditions are not favorable. The release will still occur in rain\, but if lightning is present at the release site\,\nthe release portion will be cancelled. We will do our best to accommodate and reschedule due to a\ncancellation\, but there are no guarantees.*
