Please be advised that all Caswell Beach Volunteers carry and wear a NCWRC permit badge. Offical volunteers also have Caswell Beach Parking Permits to display at all times when they park to perform sea turtle duties. Don’t hesitate to ask to see a badge if you are uncertain who you are speaking with!

WHO WE ARE

Caswell Beach Turtle Watch is a private non-profit staffed solely by volunteers from the community. The organization and its volunteers are supervised by authorized program leaders who are designated permittees of the NC Wildlife Resources Commission.

OUR PURPOSE

The purpose of Caswell Beach Turtle Watch is to protect threatened and endangered sea turtles that lay their eggs on Caswell Beach. Efforts include community education, and monitoring and reporting on sea turtle nesting and hatch activities relying on the public’s help.

NEST ADOPTION

You can “Adopt-a-Nest” to help support the efforts of Caswell Beach Turtle Watch in their nest monitoring activities. When you adopt a nest, you receive a Certificate of Adoption, nest photos, and updates about your nest throughout the season.
