For a very long time sea turtles were unprotected, but since the 1980's, volunteers have monitored and recorded nesting activity in New Smyrna Beach under a government permit. Volunteers from various backgrounds joined forces in an effort to protect nesting sea turtles, their eggs, and hatch-lings from beach driving and other human induced threats. In 2013, the volunteer group reorganized as the New Smyrna Beach marine turtle conservancy. With the help of Jessi Bruton, a graphic designer with New Smyrna Beach roots, the NSB turtle trackers brand was developed as the official name for the volunteers of the New Smyrna Beach Marine Turtle Conservancy. While the name of our group has changed, our goals have not. We are still committed to the tracking and conservation of threatened and endangered sea turtles and public education in new Smyrna Beach.

Wildlife Waystation was founded in 1976 to rescue and provide sanctuary for abandoned, abused or injured wild and exotic animals. Internationally known, the Wildlife Waystation has accepted tigers from Ireland, lions from New Zealand and Canada, and a variety of animals from across the United States, as well as Southern California native wildlife. Every rescue was important and, often life-saving. Over the years, thousands of native wildlife have been rehabilitated and successfully released back into their natural habitat. Thousands more, mostly exotics, have remained at our sanctuary. Here, they are well cared for by animal care staff, veterinarians and dedicated volunteers for the rest of their natural lives. Wildlife Waystation is also the largest chimpanzee sanctuary in the Western United States. Most of the chimpanzees have come from biomedical research facilities. Throughout the Waystation's history, educating the public has been a priority with a goal to preserve wildlife through understanding how to co-exist with native wildlife and why exotic animals do not make good pets. Through community programs, volunteers are available to speak to civic groups, scouts and schools and offer a Ranger Program for young children as well. The Wildlife Waystation continues this educational efforts by participating in community events throughout southern California. Frequently, some or our educational animals are also in attendance, a treat for the public and a way to convey our message.
