Loggerhead Sea Turtle

Loggerhead sea turtles are the most common sea turtle in the Atlantic, yet they face numerous threats including coastal development, fishing bycatch, and climate change. Our beach monitoring and nest protection program has helped increase hatchling survival rates significantly.

Protection Efforts

• 24/7 nest monitoring during nesting season
• Beach lighting ordinance advocacy
• Hatchling orientation programs
• Marine debris reduction campaigns
