Over the past couple weeks, our loggerhead sea turtle nests have begun hatching! On this particular morning, one of our biologists witnessed a group of hatchlings making their way to the ocean. After sea turtle eggs incubate in the nest for about 60 days, the hatchlings will begin making their way to the surface. Typically, they will emerge when the sand temperature is cooler because they are less likely to overheat or be caught by predators. The hatchlings will then use cues such as natural lig

Turtle Life Cycle - Learn About Nature

Loggerhead turtles have been navigating these waters for millions of years, yet today they face growing threats from habitat loss, pollution, and climate change.
