Heartwarming story that reminds us how important it is to leave no trace on the beach. Always fill the holes! Kids love to dig them, and if you teach them why they need to fill them in, they’ll love that part too.

If your happy place is the beach 🏖️, sea turtles probably have a special place in your heart 💙 .

Sea Turtle Nesting Update
The 2023 sea turtle nesting season in Florida is in full swing! Each year, our Sea Turtle Nesting Team helps lead an incredible effort to monitor sea turtle nesting throughout the state to collect valuable data on species that routinely nest on Florida’s beaches.

The preliminary statewide totals as of May 31st are as follows:
🐢 35,495 loggerheads nests (25,445 in 2022)
🥚 2,086 green turtle nests (167 in 2022)
🐢 1,194 leatherback nests (1,434 in 2022)
🥚 10 Kemp’s ridleys (7 in 2022).

Thanks to all the FWRI partners involved in an outstanding community science effort to document sea turtle nesting activity statewide!

The Gulf Specimen Marine Lab in Panacea will hold a sea turtle release on Thursday afternoon at Alligator Point.

They will release two Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtles they’ve named Sassparilla and Quarter Pounder.

Both turtles were accidentally hooked by fishermen earlier this month, but have now been treated and are ready to get back in the Gulf of Mexico.

Both Sassparilla and Quarter Pounder will be released off Alligator Point off public beach access 2, on Thursday, May 25th, at 3 pm.

Gulf Specimen Marine Lab will set up their tent and take donations for future arrivals entering this summer.
