Come learn about sea turtles, native species of the Emerald Coast as well as non-native species, through hand-on experiences and interactive educational displays. Through the doors of the Navarre Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Center, guests enter the main pool exhibit featuring a 15,000-gallon saltwater pool, home to Sweet Pea, a non-releasable green sea turtle, and Ambassador-in-Residence of the NBSTCC. For many guests, Sweet Pea is the first sea turtle they have seen, and her story tells of the dangers and promise that human choices have on this imperiled species. NBSTCC is a federally recognized 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Their mission is “Giving sea turtles more tomorrows through conservation, education, and research.”
