Turtle Nests After Hurricane Erin
posted: August 25, 2025, 3:18 PM
Hurricane Erin was not nice to our turtle nests. Many nests were washed over, and the tides left 6-8 inches or more of sand on top of the nests.
Our teams have been out on the beach finding nests that were lost in the high water produced by Erin. Using a metal detector, they were able to find this one, but sadly it is still very wet. We are hopeful that some remaining nests may still be viable.
We had a nice surprise on nest 16, the babies had made it out before they were covered in sand and water.
