Beach erosion and sea level rise create constant threats to nesting habitats, and so Loggerhead sea turtle nests need to be protected and monitored.
By adopting a nest on Egmont Key, you directly support Friends of the Tampa Bay Wildlife Refuges conservation and education programs.
In appreciation, you will receive a wooden turtle plaque with your name and the number of hatchlings on it. We will place the plaques in the Egmont Key Guard House monthly as we receive the adoptions and we will email you when your nest arrives. To adopt a nest please complete the below form:
PO Box 40782 St. Petersburg, FL 33743-0782
If you prefer, you can mail a completed Adopt a Nest Form along with your $100 donation per nest to: FTBWR, PO Box 40782, St Petersburg, FL 33743-0782.
