Worth the wait.💫 Found during a nest excavation, these little loggerhead hatchling stragglers were brought to LMC last week for a little love and care before sending them out for a second chance at the big blue.

We have officially broken our all-time sea turtle nest count, with 19,580 nests!! Our last record breaking nesting season was recorded in 2017 with a total of 19,085 nests. The 9.5 mile stretch of beach that LMC's research team monitors is one of the most densley nested sea turtle beaches in the world! With three months left of nesting season, our researchers expect the nesting numbers to continue to increase by a few more thousand nests. Leatherbacks - 186 Loggerheads - 13,111 Greens - 6,283 Wh

Just keep swimming! Two newly hatched Loggerhead sea turtles were released in the Florida Keys this evening. They arrived at The Turtle Hospital partially in the egg (pipped) and finished hatching out today. They both swam strong and are in their ocean home! @turtlebette @thefloridakeys @saveaturtleflkeys #babyanimals #seaturtle #hatchlings #loggerhead #rescuerehabrelease #seaturtleconservation #seaturtlehospital #releasedaysarethebestdays #connectandprotect #compassioniscontagious | The Turtle

Rise and shine sleepyheads!💤 We recently had our first leatherback nest excavation of the season and met some leatherback hatchlings. This nest hatched three days prior to excavation. Sea turtle hatchlings are going to start popping up on our beaches, and thanks to special permits, we can collect data from hatched and unhatched eggs in sea turtle nests. This data will help us understand sea turtle reproduction on our local beaches and provide valuable insight on sea turtle conservation. Nest ex

Here in Palm Beach County, we are approaching the start of sea turtle nesting, which runs March 1 through Oct. 31, and we couldn’t be more excited for the 2018 season! You might be wondering how you can help keep the beach safe for nesting sea turtles and hatchlings like these two. A couple easy do's and don'ts for nesting season are to keep your distance, let hatchlings emerge, turn off lights at night on the beach, don't leave any obstacles on the beach and fill in your holes.

😍 🐢 A 322-pound male loggerhead sea turtle was returned home on Tuesday, March 25, less than two weeks after he was rescued off the Florida Keys. The giant turtle, named Lenny, was spotted in distress by underwater photographer Mike Papish, who phoned The Turtle Hospital for assistance. Lenny, who is estimated to be between 60 and 70 years old, was transported to the facility on March 14 for treatment. Lenny’s return home came amid Florida Keys’ mating season. “We see sub-adult and adult logge

This loggerhead sea turtle hatchling was discovered during a nest excavation at Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park in North Naples, Florida. Unfortunately, this sweet little baby was having a very difficult time crawling to the water. It looked like something was wrong with its front right flipper. So tiny and so innocent. Sometimes it’s hard to accept the ways of Mother Nature. Hopefully it will survive its long, perilous journey to adulthood. Ladies, try not to cry when you watch this video. A sea

Here's to another season of discovery and conservation!🐢 Sea turtle nesting season has come to a close, and we’re excited to share that we counted nearly 15,000 nests in our survey area – 14,951 to be exact! We also made incredible strides in research, studying how nest temperatures influence the health and sex of these amazing creatures.

Got a surprise visit from a momma loggerhead this morning 🌞🐢 This turtle was out on the beach looking for a place to lay her eggs. While loggerhead sea turtles typically nest at night, it's not uncommon to see one "running a little behind". Did you spot her tears? Sea turtles excrete excess salt from glands behind their eyes, which makes it look like they are crying. Don't worry, she's not sad, she's just salty! #inwaterresearch #seaturtle #nestingseason #loggerhead #conservation | Inwater Res

Sea turtle nesting season is here and look how busy these turtles are from sunset to sunrise in a single night at our Blowing Rocks preserve! Our beaches provide darkness, resulting in some of the densest nesting habitat for leatherback, loggerhead, and green sea turtles in the world each year from March through October. Florida Leatherbacks Inc. staff conduct research on our beaches in search of nesting endangered leatherback turtles, and so far we have 13 nests. They have conducted nightly sur

51 babies!! These precious loggerhead hatchlings were disoriented last night when they followed the artificial lighting at a condominium rather than the natural light of the night sky to the ocean. Thank you @saveaturtleflkeys for rescuing these babies and bringing them to The Turtle Hospital for care. They are settling down in the incubator for the day and will be released this evening. Good luck little ones! Sea turtles dig the dark. If you live or are renting on the coast where sea turtles ne

It tracks… the powerful trail of a mother loggerhead making her way back to the ocean after nesting, leaving behind a clutch of nearly a hundred eggs buried beneath the sand. She will not return to them — her work is done. Only about 1 in 1,000 hatchlings will survive to adulthood, making her tracks not just footprints, but a testament to resilience and the fragile miracle of life she just protected. On this Friday, we honor her strength, her legacy, and the ancient journey she continues with ev

Finding a safer home for rare loggerhead eggs 🐢🏠 Earlier this year, our team helped relocate an endangered Loggerhead turtle nest on the mid-north coast 🥚 Relocating eggs is only done when the original site is unsafe or under threat. In this case, the nest was positioned too low in the dunes and too close to a nearby creek. A minor flood event or even a large swell would risk this nest being inundated or washed out. This location could also have caused the hatchlings to become disoriented aft

🌊🐢 Sea turtle nesting season is here! Did you know nearly 90% of loggerhead sea turtle nests in the U.S. are found right here on Florida’s shores? 🌴💚 Let’s do our part to protect these incredible creatures: ✨ Keep beaches clean—pick up all trash! ✨ Fill in holes and knock down sandcastles before leaving. ✨ Avoid using bright lights at night—sea turtles need dark, quiet beaches to nest. And, of course, don't get too close to the wildlife! #LiveWildlyFL #WeAreWildFlorida #LiveWildly #Loggerhea

Rare occurrence of a loggerhead sea turtle nesting during the day at Fort Fisher State Recreation Area, Kure Beach, NC. Video by Superintendent Jeff Owen. See our previous post for more information! Edit: Since we are getting a lot of questions in the comments, the turtle is fine and she is not stuck. She is using her back flippers to dig a hole for a nest. Once the hole is big enough, she will drop her eggs into the nest and return to the ocean. Park staff will then mark the nest and put a prot

How lucky can one get?! 🐢✨ Witnessing a nesting loggerhead female and loggerhead turtle hatchlings at the same time is something truly special — a full-circle moment of life on our beach. Loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) are one of the most iconic sea turtle species nesting along the Mozambican coastline. Females return to the very beaches where they were born to lay their eggs, often under the cover of night. After around 55–65 days, the tiny hatchlings emerge and instinctively make their
