Thank you for your interest in dedicating a nest for the 2027 nesting season! Your donation helps fund our organization’s operations while nest dedications spark interest in sea turtles for all generations.
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.
Nest Dedication recipients will receive an official Sea Turtle Patrol HHI certificate with their assigned nest number.*
Nest Dedication recipients will also receive a limited edition Sea Turtle patrol holiday ornament, new for the 2027 nesting season.*
* Certificates and ornaments will be mailed (US Addresses only) by December 10, 2026.
Donors and recipients will receive an email after their nest is laid (May 1 – mid-August) with the general nest location, and after their nest is hatched – approximately 60 days after the nest is laid.
We cannot accommodate special requests for a certain nest number or a nest in a specific area of the beach.
Complete the form below and provide the donor and recipient information. We accept credit cards, DAFpay and offline donations. Once your payment is received, a tax-deductible receipt will be sent to the donor’s email.
Please Note: This nest dedication will remain a surprise to the recipient until the packet with the ornament and certificate is received.
Send us an email at nestdedications@seaturtlepatrolhhi.org and we’ll respond asap.
