🐢 Report Sea Turtle Sighting
Take or upload a photo to report a sea turtle sighting, nesting activity, or stranding.
Sea Turtle Nests Are Federally Protected
Under the Endangered Species Act and Marine Mammal Protection Act, it is illegal to disturb, touch, or damage sea turtle nests or eggs. If you find a nest — do not touch it. Back away quietly, keep lights off at night, and report it here. Fines can exceed $100,000.
FWC Wildlife Alert: 888-404-3922
For injured, distressed, or deceased wildlife, call the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Wildlife Alert Hotline (24/7).
Submitting a report here does not replace calling FWC for urgent wildlife assistance. Call FWC directly for emergencies — this form does not automatically dispatch or forward reports to FWC.
