To Our Barrier Island Center Friends,?


Just a second to catch our breath and get out our monthly events flyer for August to all of our friends.  Summer camp is over and the campers had an amazing time snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding and enjoying many other exciting activities. We are still doing guided sea turtle walks through the end of the month and are busily preparing for the Tour de Turtles Silent Auction/Social and Turtle Release on July 30th and 31st respectively.  Be sure to buy your tickets for the Auction in advance!  Amidst all of the excitement and chaos of the summer, we were all saddened by the loss of our dear friend Melbourne Beach Mayor Rita Karpie, an amazing woman who among many other endeavors acted as a sea turtle walk scout for us at the Center and was a passionate advocate for sea turtle conservation.  The turtle that will be released on the 31st has been named Mayorita in her honor.  Please come help us celebrate her life as we set her namesake loose on an amazing journey and help us to spread the word about our amazing August events.
