| Baby Hawksbills heading to the open ocean |
There’s something almost magical about walking along the beach on patrol and stumbling across dozens and dozens of turtle hatchlings making their way together to the ocean. They disappear into the water so quickly. Where do they go? How do they get there? And better yet, how do they make their way back to their natal beach after 15 years and traveling hundreds or even thousands of miles? The life of a turtle holds so many mysteries beyond what we see when they come up on land.
So far, we’ve had green, hawksbill, and leatherback nests hatch. We’ve got hatchlings in every size, shape and color…brown ones, black ones, grey and white. And let me tell you, those baby turtleys are cuuuuuuute! But don’t take my word for it. Check out the pictures!
