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.
