Sea Turtle hatchlings in trouble.
Beach goers at the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine
Research Reserve discovered several sea turtle hatchlings in the
dunes and notified the Sea Turtle Patrol. 3 patrolers along with
the discovering family, combed the dune system for an hour
retreiving 90 plus Green sea turtle (+Chelonia mydas+) hatchlings
that had become disoriented after hatching the night before. The
nest had been laid the day after TS Fay had washed out several sea
turtle nests. The female laid the nest on the backside (western) of
the primary dune, keeping her nest well away from the extreme high
tides and heavy waves. Unfortunately, this positioning combined
with the lights of a nearby roadway probably lead to the
disorientation of the hatchlings. Though exhausted, all hatchlings
appeared in good condition and will be released this evening.
