Agenda:
- 8:00 PM at the Oceanographic Center.
o 45-minute presentation and a hatchling viewing,
- 9:00 PM caravan down to the Green St. parking lot in Hollywood North Beach Park.
o From there, we will walk out to the beach for the release!
o Due to permit regulations, this portion begins no earlier than 9:00 PM.
