Honda kindly donated a Honda Pioneer for us to use as a part of our sea turtle conservation work. It is so helpful for us on our morning patrols as we drive down the beach looking for sea turtle nests. There is lots of space to store materials and we no longer have to worry about getting our golf cart stuck in the sand. This 4x4 will get us through everything!

Representatives from Honda and a film crew came to the park to begin the documentary video on our sea turtle conservation work. The park manager, Jon, and I were both interviewed about our work here at the state park. They filmed a night walk and a nesting sea turtle, as well as a dawn patrol. They will be coming back in a month or so to capture a nest inventory! We were so happy to have them here documenting our work.

We look forward to seeing the finished product. I will definitely share the video here on the blog!

My family and I were out on this night walk, the 28th, could you please post the nest number and ID# for adoption. We really enjoyed the walk and light show.🐢
