Here's hoping the yahoos keep their vehicles off the beaches this season. . .

We saw quite a few adult turtles heading out and back to the 51 this weekend, more than we normally see in the area. The finbacks are starting to come up as well. Saw a couple 45 miles out.

Also, some big areas and patches of red tide out there. Bright red water.

Oh, never mind. A neighbor says he found a dead hatchling in tire tracks in the sand yesterday.

Was that at Miramar Southbeacher?

Between Dorada and Miramar. Hearsay, but the one who told he came upon it is well-known . . credible . . .

Total of 430 turtles hatched this season! About 8% than last year, which was a current record

Hello! Do you happen to know how to get involved with the release of hatchlings?

You could try volunteering at CEDO.
