Quiet week
posted: August 10, 2025, 10:57 AM
This past week has been fairly quiet on the beach. We had two teams out and two nests hatched. Yeah! The babies do seem to be incubating a little faster this summer, this is probably due to the extremely hot weather we've been having.
We have not had any signs of a mother turtle (either a new nest or a false crawl) in 13 days. We usually consider two weeks without any signs of a mother turtle the end of nesting in the turtle season.
A total of 34 nests has been laid on the beach this summer and 12 of them have hatched so far.
Wednesday will be our last Turtle Talk program of the year. 7 p.m. at the Holden Beach Chapel.
There will be five teams watching nests on the beach this week--look for the red shirts and stop to visit us!
