Harry has been involved with Save-A-Turtle well over 10 years, starting first as a beach walker, then becoming far more involved serving on the Board, volunteering for events, dedicating countless hours towards fundraising, education, site visits (for residents, businesses and local government) to help with issues regarding sea turtles and sea turtle habitat. He’s spent many years building connections with officials locally and throughout the state regarding issues of illegal lighting, illegal shoreline hardening, best practices for beach and sand replenishment, best practices for development, and other related issues to help assist with proper guidance on these matters.
Harry is very passionate about sea turtles as well as all other sea life and animal life, and is tenacious in his efforts to assist our Florida Keys move forward to help sea turtles as much as possible.
Harry has just been elected as President for another year, and will continue to lead this organization through the recovery of the devastating impacts Hurricane Irma has had on our beaches, sea turtle habitat, marine habitat as well as the actual losses of everything Save-A-Turtle itself possessed including our mobile educational trailer, literature, merchandise, and all everything else

Sherri Crilly
Vice President
As a NJ high school student, I wanted to pursue a career in Marine Biology, which at the time didn’t make any sense to my parents. I was petrified of the ocean and would never touch a fish! So that plan was scrapped.
Fast forward 30+ years as a wife, mother of 2 sons , a health club owner & retirement.....
I have been living In the Keys since 2014 (after vacationing here for many years) and my passion for the ocean and it’s beautiful creatures has finally been unleashed. I spend every moment I can on and under the water observing our marine life.
I am truly honored to be a part of Save-A-Turtle as a Beach Walker, Nest Surveyor, Board Member, and now Vice-President. Working with this wonderful team of people and the sea turtles is an amazing experience and I promise to always be here for all of them.
I am also a volunteer for the Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network and the Marine Turtle Permit Holder for Big Pine Key. I was also a member of the group of volunteers who treated our precious key deer during the screw worm epidemic and helped plant corals at Fort Zachary.
Flippers Up!

Vivian Beck
Treasurer
I am a RN, BSN, HCS-D, COS-C; I am blessed to be able to work remotely from home here in the Fabulous Florida Keys! I have been a Registered Nurse for 23 years. I have been an animal lover all of my life; I can't imagine my life without an animal.
Turtles have always been my kindred spirit animal; perhaps that is why I am a nurse; the turtle represents the protector; that is in my DNA. The ocean is where I draw my strength and peace; I am her protector and those that inhabit it. In North Carolina I volunteered with the sea turtle rescue on Sunset Beach, NC.
In 2012 when the pod of pilot whales beached on Cudjoe Key, I was called to action. I was living in NC at the time so took time off from job. I packed up with my husband Randy Beck and headed south to assist. My knowledge was there but when I stood at night under the midnight sky, holding that pilot whale up so she could breathe there came an awakening in my soul of what man has done to our mother ocean and her creatures. I decided then there to do more.
I see Save-A-Turtle as one making a difference. I am so happy to be a small part of it. I gladly serve as the newly elected treasurer and a seasoned turtle beach patroller.
I am also President of The Key Deer Protection Alliance.

Kelley Porter
Secretary
I was Born in Toledo, Ohio and was raised in Michigan. I married my husband in 2011, and Irma made land fall on our 6th wedding anniversay! We moved to the Keys in 2015 after multiple vacations down here together. My grand parents moved to the keys in the 90's and I would come to visit often as I was growing up.
My grandmother was a beach walker with Save A Turtle and her stories about the ocean has always been my inspiration. I am so excited that I am able to be here, in paradise. My husband and I are foster parents in Monroe County and in 2016 we were blessed to have the oppertunity to adopt our two wonderful children. They are 12 & 13 years old and full of energy!
I joined Save A Turtle almost a year ago and am honored that I am able to be part of the board again this year. I completed the training for Beach Surveying as well as Stranded and Salvation.
