Description
MIAMI DADE PARKS
TURTLE NESTING AND RELOCATION PROGRAM
This race is special as it takes place at a park known by many as one of the few parks to see turtle egg hatchings and releases.
Each summer, April to September, Florida beaches host the largest gathering of nesting sea turtles in the U.S. Sea turtles once roamed the oceans by the millions but over the past few centuries, the demand for sea turtle meat, eggs, shell, leather and oil and loss of habitat due to urban development along the coasts have greatly reduced their numbers.
This summer you can help save these sea creatures by participating in turtle releases during the height of the hatching season. Since 1980, more than 505,595 endangered sea turtles have been hatched and released through the Miami-Dade Parks Sea Turtle Nesting and Relocation Program.
For more information and reservations for special slide presentations and lectures, call Miami-Dade Parks Beach Operations at (305) 947-3525 or (305) 361-6767.
