The mission of the Pleasure Island Sea Turtle Project is to ensure the preservation and protection of threatened and endangered sea turtles, working within federal and state guidelines. The Pleasure Island Sea Turtle Project is comprised of volunteers dedicated to the protection of all sea turtle species. During nesting season (May 1 – August 31) we patrol from the southern end of Kure Beach to the northern end (including Freeman Park) of Carolina Beach.

 

DID YOU KNOW?

  • Female loggerhead sea turtles lay an average of 120 eggs in each nest and may nest up to 7 times in one season.
  • When resting, sea turtles can hold their breath for several hours. Sea Turtles reach sexual maturity around 25 years.
  • The most common sea turtle to Pleasure Island is the Loggerhead.
