The Refuge unveiled its latest Saving Sea Turtles exhibit in the free “Ding” Darling Visitor & Education Center last fall.

The new exhibit was made possible by a West Coast Inland Navigation District (WCIND) grant and other gifts to the “Ding” Darling Wildlife Society.

“We are so grateful for our partnership with WCIND, which also underwrote our manatees exhibit to help keep our Visitor & Education Center an ever-fresh attraction that educates hundreds of thousands of visitors each year,” said DDWS president John McCabe.

“This newest exhibit is so important to sea turtle conservation,” said supervisory refuge ranger Toni Westland. “People need to learn what they can do to protect endangered turtles literally around the world by being good beachgoers and beach homeowners.”
