Check out these clouds from Wednesday! See the wavy pattern? Those are rare Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds captured near Paris, TN. Like waves breaking along the ocean shoreline, areas of wind shear cause the clouds to form a similar wavelike pattern.

We are so excited that sea turtle nesting season starts today! We want to remind everyone that conventional lighting confuses and disorients sea turtles and their hatchlings. When out on the beaches at night, please keep your lights off or use red/amber lights!

May 1st marks the first day of sea turtle nesting season in Alabama! To kick it off we are sharing some fun facts about where sea turtles live in the Gulf of Mexico.

Sea turtles live in a variety of habitats, and these can change over time for many reasons including their life cycle stage, weather, and human interaction. Their diverse habitats include:

• Beaches: female sea turtles lay eggs in nests on sandy beaches. After incubating for about 2 months, the eggs hatch and baby turtles make their way to the ocean
• Open ocean: juveniles grow up in rafts of sargassum seaweed which provide food
• Coastal waters: loggerheads, Kemp’s ridleys, and green sea turtles feed in estuaries and other shallow coastal waters
• Reefs: loggerheads rely on deep offshore reefs for food

If you encounter a sea turtle, be sure to admire from a distance of at least 50 yards as recommended by NOAA’s viewing guidelines: https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/topic/marine-life-viewing-guidelines

Please report nesting, injured or deceased sea turtles using the Alabama Sea Turtle Hotline:
