“Wood” You Help?

The STPS Office is in need of some of some wood work. We have a few projects that that would greatly benefit from someone with some good basic skills in carpentry!

Permitted Activities Help Needed

STPS volunteers are regularly needed for our permitted activities including Turtle Watches, Nesting Surveys, and our Stranding work.

We also need volunteers for many other tasks including our educational activities.

Committee Volunteers Needed

A new committee was created at the January board meeting of The Sea Turtle Preservation Society: Sea Turtle "Holding" Facility Committee.  Its focus is to gather information on the feasibility of a sea turtle holding facility here in Brevard County.  The committee will have 3 segments to look into: type of facility, financing a facility, location of a facility. Roger Pszonowsky is the chairperson of the committee and hopes to fill the committee with volunteers (members and non STPS members) with some background or expertise in one of the 3 topics.  They will include persons from FWC, local government, other non-profits and business.  The committee segments will present facts and ideas to the whole committee for developing a workable plan of action and report it to the STPS board.  Because of the cost and scope of a turtle facility, many supporting groups will be involved.
