The map included with this blog shows the approximate locations of sea turtle nests to date that we have strong suspicions are actual nests with eggs (red pins). The green pins represent the locations of nests that were documented by us as having been hatched. We documented these by either observing multiple tracks leading from the nest or actually seeing some straglers who were still in the process of traveling to the water from the nest.
Also, after seeing a report that a green sea turtle was being transferred from the Loggerhead Marinelife Center (LMC) in Juno Beach, FL to the Florida Oceanographic Society in Stuart, FL, I e-mailed the LMC to adopt a sea turtle under their care. I actually adopted "hatchlings" rather than one of the named adult turtles, since I am partial to hatchlings. I also asked if I could post their link in my post, so that readers of my blog (yes- there are people who actually read my blog!) could hook up with their link and see the many interesting things that they are doing in support of sea turtles. Their link is www.marinelife.org. Why not adopt a Loggerhead today? It's a great cause!
