WHEN: Saturday, Jan. 19 from 6:30-9:30 p.m.
WHO: Roberto “Pasta” Pantaleo, Sea Turtle Conservancy & Reef Safe Suncare
WHERE: Pasta Pantaleo Signature Gallery, 930 Village Square Dr., Sebastian, FL 32958
WHY: Sea turtles are among the oldest creatures on earth and have remained essentially unchanged for 110 million years. Now threatened and endangered, sea turtles are among the most important indicators of the health of the world’s marine and coastal ecosystems.
Florida hosts approximately 90 percent of all sea turtle nesting in the United States. In Brevard County alone, more than 30,000 sea turtle nests were laid in 2011. With as few as one out of 1,000 hatchlings surviving to adulthood, raising public awareness about sea turtle conservation efforts is the first step in improving their survival outlook for future generations.
RSVP: A Night for the Sea Turtle is free to attend. Please RSVP at www.ConserveTurtles.org/Pasta or call Rocio Johnson at (352) 373-6441.
