Subaru helps tons of turtles make Coastal Connection

Thanks to a little love from Dyer Subaru, tons of sea turtles will be making a Coastal Connection. On Easter weekend, hundreds of runners will take part in the Tipsy Turtle 2-Mile Fun and Festival, a one-of-a-kind race that takes participants directly along the beautiful oceanside businesses and beachfront landscape that makes Vero so unique. It’s a celebration of the start of Sea Turtle Nesting Season, which extends from March through the end of October. Every year, the nonprofit organization, Coastal Connections, hosts over 9,000 sea turtle nests to help ensure the recovery of these beautiful and endangered creatures which have roamed the earth’s seas for millions of years. But the organization does more than host nests. According to Coastal Connections, “During nesting season, you may see sea turtle nests protected with wooden stakes, tape, and signs. These nests are monitored daily until they hatch to track influential factors for their survival.

The race is scheduled for Saturday, March 30th at Jaycee Bach Park. The race begins at 8 a.m. and finishes up with the turtle festival in the park. There will be free kids’ activities including the famous “Hatchling Dash”, and eco-egg hunt, stations where kids and be a “Biologist in training” and so much more in this true beach race that helps sea turtles survive.
