TurtleFest 2009

For the month of April, I volunteered for at TurtleFest 2009. It’s an annual event held at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach, Florida. From the moment I arrived I could see and feel the excitement in the air. Vendors, music, education, games for the kids and friendly faces abound.

The Loggerhead Marinelife Center is an ocean conservation organization with a sea turtle hospital on the premises. The staff is full of intelligent, caring individuals that live their lives day in and day out with a give back attitude. Always, happily available to answer questions, to educate and to put forth all effort possible to help threatened and endangered sea turtles. Being very active in overall ocean conservation requires the help of volunteers and there are always opportunities to help. Click the link to see what you can do to help. I know I’ll be volunteering again very soon!
