Turtle Hatch

Here is the turtle hatch we saw

89 loggerhead turtles emerged here!

Truly an amazing event that spanned about 30 minutes from beginning to end.

Because it was still daylight, the rescuers did not allow the turtles to head toward the ocean as most would not have survived given the circling birds and waiting fish. They were placed in the buckets and released late in the evening. It was sooooooooooo cool!
