2025 Nesting & Stranding Virtual Classroom training
All individuals interested in participating in the 2025 Nesting Season must register and attend one classroom session.
Each Session will be divided into three parts. All participants (i.e., city, county, and beach maintenance workers, law enforcement, border patrol, lifeguards, patrollers, and responders) must attend from 8:00 am –12:00 pm. Volunteers, patrollers, and responders associated with other Texas sea turtle programs must attend the Session from 8:00 am – 3:00 pm. PAIS volunteers must attend the entire Session from 8:00 am – 4:00 pm. That means, if you plan on volunteering with us, you must stay for the entire duration of the training!
