Here in Palm Beach County, we are approaching the start of sea turtle nesting, which runs March 1 through Oct. 31, and we couldn’t be more excited for the 2018 season! You might be wondering how you can help keep the beach safe for nesting sea turtles and hatchlings like these two. A couple easy do's and don'ts for nesting season are to keep your distance, let hatchlings emerge, turn off lights at night on the beach, don't leave any obstacles on the beach and fill in your holes.

Sea turtle nesting season is here and look how busy these turtles are from sunset to sunrise in a single night at our Blowing Rocks preserve! Our beaches provide darkness, resulting in some of the densest nesting habitat for leatherback, loggerhead, and green sea turtles in the world each year from March through October. Florida Leatherbacks Inc. staff conduct research on our beaches in search of nesting endangered leatherback turtles, and so far we have 13 nests. They have conducted nightly sur

Rare occurrence of a loggerhead sea turtle nesting during the day at Fort Fisher State Recreation Area, Kure Beach, NC. Video by Superintendent Jeff Owen. See our previous post for more information! Edit: Since we are getting a lot of questions in the comments, the turtle is fine and she is not stuck. She is using her back flippers to dig a hole for a nest. Once the hole is big enough, she will drop her eggs into the nest and return to the ocean. Park staff will then mark the nest and put a prot

🌊🐢 Sea turtle nesting season is here! Did you know nearly 90% of loggerhead sea turtle nests in the U.S. are found right here on Florida’s shores? 🌴💚 Let’s do our part to protect these incredible creatures: ✨ Keep beaches clean—pick up all trash! ✨ Fill in holes and knock down sandcastles before leaving. ✨ Avoid using bright lights at night—sea turtles need dark, quiet beaches to nest. And, of course, don't get too close to the wildlife! #LiveWildlyFL #WeAreWildFlorida #LiveWildly #Loggerhea

Why is it important to keep the beaches flat during sea turtle nesting season? While most people (and their pets) think it is fun to dig holes in the sand, it becomes dangerous to sea turtles. Holes that are left unfilled can trap nesting adults or hatchlings navigating back to the water. Even large footprints and sandcastles can become a huge obstacle for sea turtle hatchlings like the one in this video. This loggerhead sea turtle hatchling was making its way to the water when it stumbled into

The 9.5 mile stretch of beach that LMC's research team monitors is one of the most densely nested sea turtle beaches in the world! In just one week we increased our nest count by 2,446, bringing our current total to 17,633 nests! You can support our research through our adoption program. For the months of March-October, you can adopt a loggerhead, green or leatherback nest. When nesting season ends, adoptees will be emailed an update on their nest!

Our Research Department has recorded 286 leatherback nests, 12,987 loggerhead nests, and 3,253 green nests – bringing us to a total of 16,526 nests to-date this season. This puts us at the third-highest nesting season out of the 30 years we've monitored our beaches! - Tropical Storm Isaias brushed our coast as we kicked off August, which brought in high winds, some rain and extremely high tides that resulted in some loss in nests.

Loggerhead sea turtles are nesting early this year: What we know

A loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) laying eggs. Loggerhead females take 17 years to reach sexual maturity. Studies suggest that during the mating season, sexually mature females will produce pheromones to alert potential suiters. Once the female has mated, she will lay 3-6 clutches of eggs over a period of 12-14 days, with each clutch containing an average of 100 eggs. She will then not produce any more eggs for the following 2-4 years. Nesting areas are carefully chosen by the females as the

Rise and shine sleepyheads!💤 We recently had our first leatherback nest excavation of the season and met some leatherback hatchlings. This nest hatched three days prior to excavation. Sea turtle hatchlings are going to start popping up on our beaches, and thanks to special permits, we can collect data from hatched and unhatched eggs in sea turtle nests. This data will help us understand sea turtle reproduction on our local beaches and provide valuable insight on sea turtle conservation. Nest ex

This loggerhead sea turtle hatchling was discovered during a nest excavation at Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park in North Naples, Florida. Unfortunately, this sweet little baby was having a very difficult time crawling to the water. It looked like something was wrong with its front right flipper. So tiny and so innocent. Sometimes it’s hard to accept the ways of Mother Nature. Hopefully it will survive its long, perilous journey to adulthood. Ladies, try not to cry when you watch this video. A sea

Mama Loggerhead Sea Turtle Laying Eggs. For the past week, I have begun my morning walk extra early around 5am in hopes of witnessing one of these amazing creatures in her natural habitat. With me, I carried my night vision goggles, because I hoped to be able to capture the beauty of the event while keeping a safe distance away. As I headed South from my condo in Cocoa Beach, I only made a few dozen steps before I encountered the first set of turtle tracks leading deep into the dunes. A few feet

It tracks… the powerful trail of a mother loggerhead making her way back to the ocean after nesting, leaving behind a clutch of nearly a hundred eggs buried beneath the sand. She will not return to them — her work is done. Only about 1 in 1,000 hatchlings will survive to adulthood, making her tracks not just footprints, but a testament to resilience and the fragile miracle of life she just protected. On this Friday, we honor her strength, her legacy, and the ancient journey she continues with ev
