Our first sea turtle nest of the season on Virginia Key

Each year, this moment is especially meaningful as we honor the legacy of Wendy Teas — Virginia Key’s sea turtle nesting permit holder for over 30 years and a longtime steward of this beach. Wendy dedicated so much of her life to protecting sea turtles and sharing her knowledge with those around her, and her impact continues to shape this program today.

Through her passion, guidance, and generosity, MORAES is able to continue this important work year after year. We’re grateful to carry on the tradition she cared so deeply about with every track, nest, and sunrise patrol this season.
