Turtle nesting season has begun here along Juno Beach! As of this morning, we have recorded four leatherback nests.
The season did start off very early this year with a nest recorded in Boca Raton on February 12th. I am pretty sure that the nest may be the earliest nest ever recorded in the state! We are expecting an average # of turtles and nests this year, but we should know better in two weeks or so.
We will probably begin our nightly surveys in a few days to encounter nesting turtles. Stay tuned!
