Sea Turtle Nesting Season is upon us here along the coast of Florida.

Female turtles come ashore—usually at night—to dig a nest in the sand and lay about 50–200 eggs. After about 45–70 days, the hatchlings emerge and instinctively head toward the ocean.

My Wednesday detail: Living on the east coast of Florida, we witness,in the early morning, the annual event of the sea turtles coming to shore to lay their eggs as evidenced by their tracks in the sand. This is my interpretation of the event in fabric and embroidery. #machineembroidery #digitalartist#digitatart #hatchembroiderysoftware #berninausa#turtlenesting #seaturtle #turtletracks https://www.instagram.com/p/CP6zhkqnj_J/?utm_medium=tumblr

The happiness of helping these little friends to start their lives is something that you can never erase from the faces of the people who collaborate in this great conservation project. The survival rate of baby turtles is 1% so the more we help them, the more chance we have of seeing them in 15 years when they return. When you stay with us you will have the unique opportunity to help us look for nests to relocate the eggs in our hatchery and release turtles when they hatch. - - - - - -------------------------Get ready for 2021 season, #book your trip with us and don't miss one in a lifetime adventure, what are you waiting for!---------------------- - - - - - #imbubua #offthegrid #explore #travel #nature #adventure #turtlenesting #turtle #turtlehatchery #hatchery #conservation (en Imbu Bua Panama) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMFcKCSLc_W/?igshid=1mzlg7xwgodoo

Day 3 : #疫情期间～#浪中岛海龟下蛋之旅 龟妈妈找一个合适的地方产卵，当它们相中了某个地方后，就会用前脚飞快地挖坑，接着转过身，将后脚弯曲成勺状，把挖出来的沙土扒到边上，很快一个既深又大的坑就挖好了。之后，海龟妈妈就开始产蛋，一个一个像乒乓球一样的海龟蛋依次在坑里叠起来。产卵完成后，海龟妈妈会再用后脚，细心地用沙土把卵坑盖好，才慢悠悠地回到海里。每个海龟妈妈每年要产卵2～3次，每次至少产60多枚蛋，多的可达100多枚。为什么海龟妈妈要生那么多的蛋呢？ 海龟蛋的孵化时间会长达50～60天。每当下蛋完毕，10天～14天都会回到同一个地方下蛋，但在这漫长的孵化时间里，海龟蛋面临很多的危险。因为它是许多动物的美食，老鹰鸟类、蛇类等都会费尽心机找海龟蛋。海龟蛋要面临多次被洗劫，能顺利孵化的就不多了。 #turtlenesting #summerbayresort #langtengahisland #langtengah @summerbaylti @langtengahscubaadventure (at Summer Bay Resort, Lang Tengah Island, Malaysia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B99Q856Fo1x/?igshid=atcckiziqv1g

Turtle Etiquette for Destin Beaches

There’s a proper turtle etiquette you ask? Who knew turtles have manners? You might have guessed we are actually talking about human behavior that impacts turtles and other creatures on your visit to Destin beaches.

On the first morning of your beach vacation, you spot a section of sand near the dunes staked off with yellow caution tape. Did someone spill a caustic substance on the sand? There are also some strange tracks leading away from that area. At the end of a long day of relaxing at the beach, you spot a group of teenagers filling in the hole they spent all day digging. Why do they bother, they’ll probably be back at it digging another hole tomorrow.

As you head in for the evening, you wonder why all the curtains are closed, and there are pale amber lights on the porches. Those dim lights make it very difficult to see if you drop something when you’re enjoying a drink on the balcony after dinner. As you head to bed, you might notice red lights moving along the shoreline.

For years your friends told you what an awesome place Destin is, and you’ve finally made the trip to the beautiful Emerald Coast. But What is it with this place? You saw some strange things today, like no other place you have been.

For the Turtles

The following morning, the mystery begins to unravel. You spot several more areas staked with caution tape, and decide to check it out. Upon closer look, you discover a sign that explains what you see is a protected turtle nest. You ask the teenagers why they fill in their holes and they say “it’s for the turtles.” When you ask a maintenance guy about the curtains and the special lights on the porch, you get the same response; “it’s for the turtles”. And those red flashlights, you guessed it; they’re for the turtles too!

As you may or may not realize, sea turtles are a protected species. It is our responsibility to make sure we don’t hinder their chance of survival. Since the gulf coast is prime turtle nesting ground, people are making an effort to do their part. Volunteers walk the beach in the early morning hours to identify new nests and stake them before someone accidentally disturbs them.

Every year in late spring adult female turtles come ashore to lay their eggs in shallow nests usually near the dunes. When the hatchlings emerge from their shells in late summer, they make their perilous journey to the ocean. Sometimes this happens during the day, but often it occurs at night. In this case, they return to the ocean, using the reflection of the moonlight on the ocean to guide them.

What Can You Do?

Both Adult and hatchlings can get confused by white flashlights or white lights in homes and buildings along the beach. This is why you see people walking along the beach with red flashlights. It’s also why you should fill in holes and knock down sand castles at the end of the day. Do anything to make their journey to the ocean easier. That’s proper turtle etiquette!

In short, proper etiquette means follow the motto “Leave no trace.” Do it for the turtles! Follow these tips and you just might find one of these guys swimming along as you paddleboard or kayak!
