THIS VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY HAS ENDED FOR 2023!|
Check back next May for 2024 Nest watch!

From May – November it’s honu’ea & honu nesting season on Maui!
You can volunteer for Dawn Patrol, Nest Watch, Night Patrol, or all three!

  • Dawn Patrol goes out early mornings looking for sea turtle tracks or an indication of a nest that has been laid.
  • Night Patrol looks for, guards, and monitors nesting females.
  • Nest Watch occurs day and night, watching over the nests to keep hatchlings safe from disturbance.

We need you! Please join us on MAUI! Sign up on this site to be a part of something wonderful.
