About BEACHES SEA TURTLE PATROL INC

Beaches Sea Turtle Patrol, Inc. (BSTP) is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) based in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, that monitors and protects nesting sea turtles and hatchlings on Atlantic, Neptune and Jacksonville Beaches. The organization operates under the direction of the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Marine Turtle Program (permit MTP-111), contributes data to state and research partners, and supports local beach lighting and management efforts to reduce threats to turtles.

Recent publicly available tax filings and organizational updates (most recently reporting 2024 activity and finances) show BSTP continuing program operations, collaboration with the City of Jacksonville Beach, and routine reporting of nest and stranding information to state authorities.
