In the past week, we have reached nest number 36 of the season. For those following along since last year, that exceeds our total nest count from 2024 (34 nests) and we found our second green nest of the season as well. We love our loggerheads, we really do, but the power and determination of the green nesting female is something we never tire of seeing.
Just like our first green, this green made her way to the dunes, dug an impressive body pit and followed much of the same path back to the water.



If you encounter a marked nest area, please respect it and avoid entering it for any reason (as indicated by the yellow FWC and blue local signage). Most everyone seems to comply but unfortunately we have seen footprints inside some of our nest areas, we need to all do our part to protect them!
Please remember, if you encounter a sea turtle on our sandy beach at night, please refrain from using flash photography, use no lights at all (causes disorientation), avoid her track and any disturbed sandy areas, observe from the back side of the turtle from a distance and contact PCB Police non-emergency at 850-233-5000. They will contact our on-call volunteers to respond and protect the turtle and the nest she lays.
Everyone can do their part leaving our beaches clean, dark and flat!
All activities performed under MTP-038.
