Sea Turtle Nest Excavation Dig 🐢

Notes regarding time

Dig starts promptly at 7:30am

Description

Public Hatch Success Evaluations allow the public to witness a loggerhead sea turtle nest being excavated. This is an important research tool in determining hatch out success rates of nests on the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge. We'll teach you about our local sea turtle species as we excavate the nest, give you the opportunity to touch eggshell remnants and unhatched eggs, and if any hatchlings are found remaining in the nest you'll witness them being released into the ocean if they are healthy enough to do so.
