Beach erosion by a tropical storm produced the cliff-like escarpment seen in this image and accidentally exposed about 8% of the eggs in this loggerhead sea turtle nest.

Cliff-like erosion escarpment on a Florida beach. The four-to-five foot depth of lost sand exposed egg-shell fragments from a sea turtle nest.

The protective stakes mark a nest from an earlier week as part of a county research program that marks and records every eighth nest.

This image depicts a cliff-like escarpment in the sand of a Florida beach. Notice the marked turtle nest (background) and the unusual single exposed egg (right foreground). The protective stakes mark a nest from an earlier week as part of a county research program that marks and records every eighth nest.
