Esta pobre pequeña fue encontrada atrapada en plástico dentro de una cámara de huevos cuando un miembro del personal de @browardcturtles realizó una excavación (eliminación de todo el contenido del nido para hacer un inventario y determinar el éxito de la eclosión). 🐢

Buckle up, folks, because it's officially sea turtle nesting season! 🐢 We already have 5️⃣ leatherback nests in the @BrowardCTurtles survey area and expect loggerheads to arrive any day. When do you think the first loggerhead nest will be laid in Broward County?

This green sea turtle hatchling has just began her oceanic journey, using her long front flippers to propell effortlessly through the salty water with delicate ease.

Time for another #TurtleTuesday nesting update! 🐢 How many more nests do you think we'll document before this season is over?

[Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program @BrowardCTurtles]

Peak season is in full swing and that means we are seeing lots of hatchlings out there!

We are in the middle of sea turtle season! 🥹

Various species nest on South Florida beaches and lay hundreds of eggs, which are relocated by @BrowardCTurtles to increase their chances of survival.

Nest 800 in Fort Lauderdale! The turtles aren't stopping for the 4th of July celebrations. Be sure to keep the beaches dark at night, fill in holes on the beach, knock down sand castles, and refrain from lighting fireworks on the beach.
