“Wildlife groups in Florida are celebrating record numbers of sea turtle nests this season…

With more than two months of the summer nesting season still to run, loggerhead turtles have already made 13,770 nests, hundreds more than recorded in any previous year, along an 8.5-mile stretch of shoreline monitored by the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach, on Florida’s Atlantic coast.

The same record has fallen on Sanibel island, on the Gulf coast, where loggerheads have laid 922 nests so far this year, surpassing the 2023 total of 878, according to the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation.”
