Turtle Nesting Season May 1st through October 31st. Be sure to be informed regarding “Sea Turtles Information” located on the bulletin boards in each building’s lobby, elevators, VOTG website and Eblasts. You must keep your curtains closed and turn lights off, so you do not disorient the turtles. Fill in any holes you made on the beach and remove any obstacles.

 

Thousands of endangered sea turtles come onshore to lay their eggs each year. 90% of the sea turtles nesting in the USA occur in FL. There are lots of things you can do to help conserve these endangered sea turtles by checking out the various websites. Such as: 

 

Fish & Wildlife website:    Myfwc.com/education/wildlife/sea-turtle

Sea Turtle Conservancy website:    Conserveturtles.com                (The Sea Turtle Conservancy website has a real time turtle satellite tracker migration of tagged sea turtles)

The City of Venice Hurricane Guide 2026 has all sorts of useful information. Such as Important Phone Numbers, Plans, Shelters, and the History of hurricanes for the past 100 years. You can access it by going to their website: www.venicegov.com/home/showpublisheddocument/14439/639128950548730000

 

Important things everyone should know: your Zone and where is your Shelter located.

Remember to register on Valencia on the Gulf website and enter your cell phone number to receive important emergency texts from the association.

Sign up for emergency alerts through Sarasota’s county’s notification system to stay informed.

If you are evacuating be sure to do so early and follow the VOTG Departure steps and notify the office, so we know who is still on sight.
