The Nature Trust Fee Malta – Wildlife Rescue Team is looking for people who wish to volunteer for turtle nest patrols in Gozo and Malta between the 1st of May and and the 21st of August.

The beaches being monitored are Ramla l-Hamra in Gozo and Ghadira, Golden Bay, Riviera, Gnejna and Marsascala in Malta.

The team explained that the patrols would involve the volunteers being present on the beach between 9pm-midnight on a roster basis, to be on the lookout for possible nesting turtles, and provide guidance to other people on the beach in case a turtle comes up to nest.

There is also a check carried out in the morning between 5:30-6:00am Training for volunteers will be provided in the beginning of April and is mandatory to be included in the roster.

For anyone interested who would like more information, kindly contact the Wildlife Rescue Team on wildlife@naturetrustmalta.org or angelique@naturetrustmalta.org. Please write turtle watch in the email title.

“This is a volunteering position, meaning you would be donating your time for free. The upside is you might be the lucky one to witness a turtle nesting.”
