POV = a nesting green sea turtle making her way to a suitable nesting spot (at the toe of the dune) and then back to the water
We have our 3rd green nest of the season! Special thanks goes to the local police officers that came upon a nesting turtle in the wee hours of the morning. They called our volunteers and accompanied the turtle until the volunteers arrived. Special thanks also goes to our volunteers for being ready any time of the night or morning to respond. They made sure she safely returned to the water and then marked the nest for protection, nest 39.
Just a couple hours later, volunteers responded to the beach to mark nest 40, a loggerhead nest, for protection when that was found by a morning surveyor. These volunteers have had a busy start to their week and we appreciate them and all of our other volunteers ❤️🐢
