For the next few weeks, the Museum of Science and Discovery will be holding turtle walks on the beach to educate about sea turtles.
At 1:00 am, two Wednesdays ago, I watched a loggerhead the size of my recliner lay 100 eggs.
I fully recommend the experience. It's humbling to think that this has been going on, mainly unwatched, for millions of years. These guys were around with the mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, and ichthyosaurs, and outlasted them all. Most probably, they were the only ones to lay eggs instead of live birth. Coincidence?
Help them along. Don't release balloons...they'll end up in a turtle's stomach, convince it it's not hungry ever again, and starve it to death. Don;t buy stuff made of sea turtles; none of it is legal.
You know, the museum had some stuff donated by customs for educational reasons...I should ask about that...
