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. Walking the beach looking for stranded or dead sea turtles, and walking the beach looking for places to put up posters, both involve 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


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).

I Agree

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


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

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

I understand these and other risks not listed above can, in extreme and unlikely circumstances, cause or lead to death, injury, illness, property damage, mental or emotional trauma or disability. Further, activities may take place several hours from any medical facility or where communication, transportation or evacuation is subject to delay. I agree to assume all of the risks of the Canadian Sea Turtle Network Beach Patrol, whether inherent or not, and whether described above or not.


By signing this document, I agree to participate in the Beach Patrol activities under the terms and conditions described in this Liability Release and other relevant Canadian Sea Turtle Network material provided to me.
