We love the excitement over the "R/V Osprey" system launch images, here we share a few more and some details.

We continue to receive support for the vessel and vessel operations. If you want to be a part of this milestone through support

To complete her journey to the UNCW Center for Marine Science, she will be shipped through the Panama Canal and then to Florida.

Once in Port Everglades she will be launched again and our AMAZING crew will bring her up the coast to Wilmington. Just a guess here ... we are all ready to see her come through the inlet!

Yes, there will be celebrations, and we will share more details soon!

Play on the beach all day!
Please protect sea turtles by being a responsible beach goer.
✅ Fill in holes - turtles and hatchlings can get trapped
✅ Flatten sandcastles - helps nesting turtles get to the dunes
✅ Keep beaches clean - never litter
✅ Turn off ocean facing lights - they can distract nesting turtles

Thank YOU for helping to protect sea turtles and our ocean!
