The photo shows the type of chart that we are using again this turtle nesting season. It includes the following data: type of sea turtle nest (2nd & 3rd characters in column one), date nest was laid (4th, 5th & 6th characters in column one), latitude, longitude, date hatched or projected date to hatch and the number of days that the eggs incubated. Additionally, there are several "legends" that provide codes for the type of nest identified, and several beach points (latitude and longitude) to identify beach erosion before and after several beach renourishment efforts.
