Summary: The City of Naples Sea Turtle Public Awareness Education Program is an educational outreach program designed to increase local community and visitor awareness of marine turtle issues, with the intended primary outcome of decreasing the negative anthropogenic effects on marine turtles (specifically threatened loggerhead Caretta caretta sea turtle) in Florida. Working in very close cooperation with the Collier County Environmental Services Department to continue their past efforts in this area, the Program staff will utilize a variety of educational outreach tools and strategies to reach the targeted audiences in Naples and Collier County. The goal of the Program is to use educational materials to teach responsible stewardship of marine resources with an emphasis on important habitats shared by both marine turtles and humans. The City has the managerial and financial capability to ensure proper planning, management, and completion of the project described in this proposal.
