Last night a very helpful beach visitor spotted a nesting sea turtle on the beach and alerted the hotline. Thank you so much! Once mama finished laying her eggs and went back to the ocean, the team leaped into action to find the eggs and put in the temperature data loggers.
Team 27 processing nest and putting up protective perimeter
Those flashlights on phones are pretty handy! Peggy C installs the dataloggers
Thanks to all who came out to help. A great and efficient team!
