On the Front Line: Florida’s Management Against Invasive Reptiles—2/26/25

Discover Blowing Rocks

Blowing Rocks Preserve in Florida

What Are the Blowing Rocks?

During winter storms and big high tides, the blowing rocks live up to their name. Waves slamming the craggy limestone force water up to 50 feet in the air at Blowing Rocks Preserve.

Sea Turtles at Blowing Rocks Preserve

We have been working to protect sea turtles in Florida since the early 1980s. Our volunteers rescue turtles and hatchlings that get stranded on their way to the ocean.

Sunlight dapples coral in a Florida reef. A tall lighthouse rises from a small island in the background, surrounded by gently lapping water.

Protecting Our Oceans

For the air we breathe, our medicines, food, respite and livelihoods, we need healthy oceans for Florida and beyond. We’re up to the challenge.
