We made a long trek to the inlet without any turtle activity but enjoyed a beautiful walk under the full moon. On the way back we got to witness the turtle laying nest 330! While watching the turtle lay her eggs, we witnessed another turtle emerging from the ocean down the way. We had to quietly pass by this turtle by the waterline when we walked back to the park office.
The following morning, our patrol team had a busy day! They found the two new nests, one false crawl and one nest emerged. They also had to install several light screens and conduct a few inventories. If you would like to adopt nest 330 from our night walk program, click on the button below to be taken to the adoption page. The unique ID of nest 330 is: 265568. Part of the proceeds goes back towards our turtle program.
