N.E.S.T.-Protecting Sea Turtles on the Outer Banks

  • Date: 04/26/2023 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM  
  • Location: KDH Library & Virtual via Zoom

The Network for Endangered Sea Turtles is a nonprofit organization on the Outer Banks.  Our mission is to protect and rescue endangered sea turtles.  In this presentation, we will talk about what N.E.S.T does, including education, nesting response, hatchling safety, and rescuing cold stunned turtles.  Our volunteers work all year long, in all weather conditions, to achieve our mission. We will also cover sea turtle basics and the many ways you can help!

Led by our founder Millie Overman, NEST was established in 1995. N.E.S.T. is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the protection and conservation of sea turtles and other protected marine wildlife on the Outer Banks of North Carolina from the Virginia line to south Nags Head. N.E.S.T. is committed to contributing to the preservation of these species through research and rescue and rehabilitation efforts and to fostering greater understanding and appreciation of these species and their habitat through education and enhanced public awareness. We work in partnership with the North Carolina Wildlife Commission and the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island. We also work closely with the townships in Dare and Currituck Counties on issues related to sea turtles.
