In 2024 we had no green nests on PCB. In 2025, we were happy to see the greens return and we have seven green nests on the beach currently and one of those hatched last night
When greens nest they commit and crawl to a suitable location, move a lot of sand and commonly lay high beach or in the dunes (without respecting the protected sea oats). That was the case for this nest when she nested in the dunes a couple months ago. Last night hatchlings emerged and made their way to the water from this nest. We’ll be announcing this excavation soon but couldn’t wait to share the news that green hatchlings have hit the beach this season
