Sea Turtle Patrol HHI is the only program permitted by the state to monitor sea turtle nests and hatchlings on Hilton Head Island’s 14 miles of beach. Your donation helps fund our organization’s operations while nest dedications spark interest in sea turtles for all generations.
The recipient you honor with the Sea Turtle Nest Dedication will receive a packet with a certificate announcing the nest number. Certificates will be mailed by December 10, 2024.
The recipient will also receive a limited edition Sea Turtle Patrol holiday ornament, new for the 2025 nesting season.
During the 2025 sea turtle nest laying months, which is May 1 thru mid-August, you and the recipient of this dedication will be notified when the nest was laid and its general location on the beach. We cannot accommodate special requests for a certain nest number or a nest in a specific area of the beach.
By the end of the season, usually in early October, both parties will be notified of all results and statistics from the nest.
Complete the form below and provide the donor and recipient information. We accept credit cards as well as offline donations. Once your payment is received, a tax-deductible receipt will be sent to the donor’s email.
Send us an email at nestdedications@seaturtlepatrolhhi.org and we’ll respond asap.
