Saving Shells: Unveiling Disney’s Vero Beach Resort’s Sea Turtle Conservation Efforts!

For nearly two decades, Disney’s Vero Beach Resort has been a champion for sea turtle conservation. Their dedication to protecting these magnificent creatures is evident in the impressive numbers: over 20,000 sea turtle nests monitored, resulting in an estimated 1.8 million hatchlings taking their first steps (or rather, flipper strokes) on these beaches.

Disney’s Vero Beach Resort isn’t going at it alone. Their passionate Disney Conservation Team collaborates with respected organizations to ensure these threatened and endangered species receive the care they need. Loggerheads, greens, and leatherbacks – all three species find vital nesting habitat on the resort’s beaches.

The need for conservation is critical. Sea turtle populations have plummeted due to habitat loss, dwindling food sources, and poaching. But there’s hope. The Walt Disney Company, through the Disney Conservation Fund, is a global leader in wildlife preservation efforts. Since 1995, they’ve supported sea turtle conservation by protecting nesting grounds, educating communities, and working hand-in-hand with local groups and conservationists worldwide. Sea turtles are truly global citizens, gracing warm ocean waters across the planet. They navigate vast distances, traveling from feeding grounds in shallow seagrass beds and coral reefs to the nesting beaches where females lay their eggs.

Disney’s Vero Beach Resort plays a vital role in this incredible journey, providing a safe haven for these ancient mariners to continue their legacy.
