🐢🐢TURTLE TIME 🐢🐢
Thank you to Sunshine Coast Council and Coolum & North Shore Coast Care for the information below 👇
Turtle nesting season is here and you will see the highly trained TurtleCare and Coolum & North Shore Coast Care volunteers walking Sunshine Coast beaches, looking for tracks. We are asking for your help 💚
💡❌ Switch off your outside lights from 8pm as light pollution is distracting for turtles and hatchlings.
🗑️ Make sure you take your rubbish with you from the beach so the turtles have a clean environment to lay their eggs in.
🏖️ Please take care and stay clear of the dunes.
🐢 Report turtle tracks, new nests and emerging hatchlings to our Turtle Care hotline or Coolum and North Shore Coast Care.
👀 For sightings on the southern end of the coast call 0437 559 067 and for sightings from Maroochydore north call Coolum and North Shore Coast Care on 0478 435 377.
