WATCH OUT FOR TURTLES 🐢 | The Naval Station Mayport reports that Sea Turtle Patrol volunteers discovered nest 52 at NAVSTA Mayport Friday morning.
According to a Facebook post, sea turtles hatch late at night to avoid predation and navigate to the ocean by orienting to the light of the stars and moon reflecting off the ocean.
It is typical for sea turtles to hatch at times when people aren’t on the beach, but in the case that you see a nest hatching, the naval station recommends keeping a respectful distance away and do not take photos using flash photography or shine lights on the beach.
