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.

Loggerhead sea turtles are impressive creatures! 🐢 They have a distinct reddish-brown shell and can grow up to 3.5 feet long, weighing around 400 pounds. These turtles live up to 70 years and primarily eat crustaceans, mollusks, and jellyfish. They're famous for their long migrations and nesting habits, with females returning to their birthplace to lay eggs. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect them from threats like habitat loss and pollution. 🌊🐢 #LoggerheadTurtles #Conservation #Mari

🌊🐢 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

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

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

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
