We are seeing some mixed results in our recent inventories after some nests had damage from the passing of Ernesto and King Tides, but are happy to report that sea turtle hatchlings are emerging even with overwash!
The good news is Nest #32 had 77 out of about 100 hatchlings emerge and Nest #36 had 92 out of about 105 hatchlings emerge!
Nest #33 (which had some overwash) had 50 out of about 128 hatchlings emerge. See the full results at our Latest Nest Inventory Results
We are hopeful for our remaining nests!
