Starting Monday, May 15th, 2006 at 9:00 a.m., staff at Canaveral National Seashore will begin taking telephone reservations for this year’s June Turtle Watch programs. The number to call is (386) 428-3384 ext. 18.

These programs are open to persons eight years of age and older. Programs are limited to thirty people per night and a maximum of six persons per reservation.

During June 2006, programs are scheduled on most Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.

In the North District at Apollo Beach, programs will run from 8:00 p.m. until Midnight on June 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 27, 28, 29 and 30. Please have alternate dates in mind when you call, and please keep your calls brief, as a heavy call volume is anticipated. Further information and instruction will be sent to you within two weeks of your phone call.

Turtle Watch programs give park visitors an opportunity to learn about sea turtles and the role that the National Park Service plays in their conservation. While visitors are not guaranteed a view of a nesting sea turtle, the 2005 success rate exceeded 75%.
