Thank you for your interest in our Nest Dedications Program. 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. You can support our efforts by dedicating a nest to yourself or someone you love.
Nest dedications are 100% tax deductible and help fund our organization’s operations and spark interest in sea turtles for all generations.
Nest Dedication recipients will receive an official Sea Turtle Patrol HHI certificate with their assigned nest number. Shipping is available to US addresses only.
The recipient will also receive a limited edition Sea Turtle Patrol holiday ornament, new for the 2027 nesting season.
Donors and recipients will receive an email after their nest is laid (May 1 – mid-August) with its general beach location. Once the nest has hatched and has been inventoried, we will send an update with the official nest data along with the beach mile marker! Per SCDNR conservation guidelines, exact locations are kept confidential during incubation to keep the nest site secure and protect our endangered sea turtles.
Send us an email at nestdedications@seaturtlepatrolhhi.org and we’ll respond asap.
