Disney Celebrates 20 Years of Sea Turtle Conservation at Vero Beach Resort

Celebrating the 20^th year of sea turtle conservation efforts at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort

The Sea Turtle Conservation Program at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Since the program started 20 years ago, the sea turtle conservation program at Vero Beach has recorded more than 20,000 sea turtle nests, resulting in over 1.5 million sea turtle hatchlings.

Vero Beach is an important breeding ground for the Loggerhead Sea Turtle, with female turtles returning to the beach every 30 years to lay eggs. The loggerhead sea turtle population in Florida comprises 40 percent of the global population, with the worldwide in decline due to fisheries bycatch, direct harvest, and impacts from climate change. The sea turtle conservation program at Vero Beach aims to stabilize and grow the loggerhead turtle population in Florida to help ensure the continued survival of the species.

The Disney Conservation Fund continues to support innovative sea turtle research, such as Arizona State University’s solar-powered fishing net to minimize sea turtle bycatch in fisheries. Other Disney Conservation Fund efforts include Team BEACH – a global human behavior change network to save sea turtles – in collaboration with The Oceanic Society and State of the World’s Turtles, and the conservation efforts that are ongoing at Vero Beach.
