Sea turtles
We spoke with Clearwater Marine Aquarium’s Sea Turtle Conservation Program Manager, Carly Oakley about the nesting success of sea turtles on Pinellas County beaches this season and how sea turtle nests were impacted by the hurricanes.
Oakley said that for the first time, conservationists found a leatherback sea turtle nest on Pinellas County beaches – and many of the eggs hatched. It was the first nesting season with three species of sea turtles nesting on Pinellas beaches: including loggerheads and two green sea turtle nests.
