Hooray, our first nest was found this morning by surveyor Vanessa Wilson! It was made by a loggerhead, the most common turtle nesting on our beaches. We’re continuing the practice from last year of not reporting nest locations to protect them from harm. We will invite the public to nest excavations performed to determine hatching success. Nest locations will be posted on our Facebook page as they hatch, starting in late July or August when the hatching season begins. We hope you can join us!
