The Loggerhead Marine Life Center in Juno Beach, FL announced a record 25,025 nests for the year 2023. The center counted 216 leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) nests, 15,672 loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) nests, and 9,137 green turtle (Chelonia mydas) nests for the nesting season, which ended October 31.The center monitors a nearly 10-mile stretch of beach comprising, Juno, Jupiter-Carline Park and Tequesta.”What we’re finding is that nests that were laid in June, July and August, when Florida gets very hot, the turtle are hatching at reduced rates, so despite having a really record breaking nesting season here in Florida, our hatchling production rates are going to be quite low,” Dr. Justin Perrault, vice president of research at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center told.
