Cold-blooded turtles need warm-hearted friends. 

The Network for Endangered Sea Turtles (NEST) is seeking volunteers interested in helping to patrol for and/or transport sea turtles that wash up on the shore during the fall and winter months. NEST will be holding an informational meeting with training at the Ocracoke Community Center on Saturday Nov. 17th at 1PM.

For more information or questions contact NEST’s Hatteras Island Coordinator, Frank Welles at fgwelles@aol.com or 252-995-2417
