YOU MUST READ THIS WAIVER CAREFULLY TO BE ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CANADIAN SEA TURTLE NETWORK BEACH PATROL FOR STRANDED SEA TURTLES. THIS IS A RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND WAIVER OF LEGAL RIGHTS. BY SIGNING THIS, YOU ARE ACKNOWLEDGING THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE CONTENT OF THE DOCUMENT, AND YOU ARE AGREEING TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET OUT THEREIN.


Review CSTN's Privacy Policy

The Canadian Sea Turtle Network, Incorporated (referred to hereafter as “Canadian Sea Turtle Network”) is conducting the Canadian Sea Turtle Network Beach Patrol for Stranded Sea Turtles (referred to as “Canadian Sea Turtle Network Beach Patrol” or “Beach Patrol” hereafter).

It is important to be aware that there are factors involved in the Canadian Sea Turtle Network Beach Patrol that are beyond the control of the Canadian Sea Turtle Network. Driving living sea turtles or dead sea turtle carcasses involves many inherent risks, dangers and hazards, including but not limited to bodily injury due to traffic accidents, illness (some severe) from inappropriate contact with a sea turtle, or discomfort in driving inside a vehicle at a cold temperature.


Factors that are beyond the control of the Canadian Sea Turtle Network include—but are not limited to—aspects such as:

  • Weather, including sudden temperature change, sudden rain or snowstorms, fog banks rolling in, high winds, etc.
  • Road conditions, including severe and unexpected snow or rainstorms, icy conditions, foggy conditions, or extreme wind. Roads may also be in poor condition, including potholes that are difficult to see and could damage your vehicle.
  • Traffic conditions, including construction, traffic congestion, poorly marked intersections, etc.
  • Other drivers, including those driving too fast, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, driving unlicensed, driving recklessly, passing in non-passing zones, etc.
  • Possible traffic accidents that cause damage to your vehicle and injury to you or those traveling with you that may be severe, life threatening, or fatal.
  • Vehicle condition, including unsafe vehicles, vehicles with unsafe tires, vehicles with insufficient fuel, vehicles without current permits, etc.
  • Your health condition and your level of driving skill.


It is your responsibility to ensure that you handle the sea turtles or sea turtle carcasses while wearing disposable rubber gloves (example, dish gloves or medical gloves). It is your responsibility to ensure that you do not put your fingers in your mouth after handling the turtle without washing your hands thoroughly first and to ensure that you do not kiss the turtle or to touch the turtle in any way with your mouth except at your own risk.

Risks that can occur as a result of contact with alive or dead sea turtles include contact with human pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella. If any part of the sea turtle is consumed, humans are at risk of chelonitoxism, a life-threatening disease for which there is no known antidote.


Be prepared for a range of weather. You are responsible for checking the safety of your vehicle, ensuring that your vehicle has sufficient fuel, ensuring that it is has a current provincial permit, and ensuring that you are skilled and properly licensed to drive it.

The Canadian Sea Turtle Network accepts NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY for the experience or fate of any passenger you choose to bring in your car with you.

I Agree

It is important to be aware that there are factors involved in the Canadian Sea Turtle Network Beach Patrol that are beyond the control of the Canadian Sea Turtle Network. Walking the beach looking for places to put up posters involves many inherent risks, dangers and hazards, including but not limited to bodily injury due to mishaps while on beaches.


Factors that are beyond the control of the Canadian Sea Turtle Network include—but are not limited to—aspects such as:

  • Weather, including sudden temperature change, sudden rain or snowstorms, fog banks rolling in, high winds, etc.
  • Beach substrate, including the stability of beach substrate, the presence of water or ice on the beach or beach substrate, uneven terrain, debris—including sharps—on the beach and potentially obscured by sand, etc.
  • Presence of others on the beach, including people who are rude or threatening, etc.
  • Sufficiency of lighting on beach
  • Available parking near beach, including the proximity of the parking or the path you travel to reach the beach (on foot, by bike, by car, or by other form of transportation) to a highway, where vehicles may be operated by inexperienced or dangerous drivers
  • Your health condition


You are responsible for the risks associated with putting up posters in community locations, including ensuring that you have permission to put the poster up in that location. Factors beyond the control of the Canadian Sea Turtle Network include--but are not limited to--aspects such as:

  • People in public places, including those who may be rude or threatening.
  • Injury from the use of a power stapler and/or push pins. These could include accidentally stapling part of your body, accidentally stabbing yourself with a push pin, etc.
  • Your health condition


Be prepared for a range of weather. Walking on a beach means walking over uneven terrain. You are responsible for keeping yourself well hydrated. You are also responsible for managing your own sun protection (sunscreen, hats, and so on).

Although the Canadian Sea Turtle Network has taken precautions to make the Beach Patrol safe for all participants, the Canadian Sea Turtle Network cannot guarantee your personal safety or the safety of your belongings when you participate in the Beach Patrol. You are solely responsible for your personal safety and the safety of your belongings. By signing this agreement, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Canadian Sea Turtle Network and its employees and officers for any issues pertaining to your personal safety.

I Agree
