High surf from the hurricane flooded all of our nests and washed away seven. Hatching success will be reduced at the remaining nests, but we still expect some to hatch. On a positive note, turtles will continue to lay nests through August, with the possibility of 5-10 more. Please call the Beach Police at 850-233-5000 if you see nesting turtles or hatchlings on Panama City Beach.
