A big weekend (5/15 - 5 17) provided 5 new nests - our first four Loggerhead nests and 1 new Leatherback! The chart now contains a total of seven nests - 3 Leatherback and 4 Loggerhead. Also, the chart that you see here today will change again in future views - not only in the quantity of nests that it contains, but in the organization of the list. In the future, the chart will list the nests in order from the southern most point on our stretch of beach to the northern most point (Jetty), to make it easier for us as we re-check the nests on an almost daily basis. This is especially helpful to us once the nests start hatching and all evidence of the nest is removed from the beach. With the nests organized by longitide from south to north, we can then check them in sequence as we travel on the beach from south to north on our daily beach-walks.
