Night Walk 6/27 - A Success!

We had a wonderful night walk on Thursday as we got to witness a nesting loggerhead sea turtle under a starry sky and with a wonderful breeze to keep the bugs at bay. We got the chance to witness her laying her eggs, cover her nest and return to the ocean. The following morning myself and our volunteer, Nona, had a busy start to our day! We found 11 new nests on the state park beach, bringing our total to 235! We are nearing closer to our record of 240, will we beat it tomorrow? Tune back in to the blog to find out when we pass our record number of nests.

The turtle we saw last night, laid nest 229 on our state park beach. See below for pictures taken during morning patrol. If you would like to adopt this nest, click on the button below to be taken to the adoption page. The unique ID for nest 229 is: 256981. Part of the proceeds from the nest adoption goes back to our program! The turtles and our patrol group thank you for the support.
