Sea Turtle Tracks at Nesting Site
A morning photo depicts evidence of a sea turtle nesting the previous night (from the sea, left; return to sea, right). The protective stakes mark a nest from an earlier week as part of a county research program that marks and records every eighth nest.

Sea Turtle Nest Marked for Research
Teams of turtle researchers survey Florida beaches to record each morning's new nests. On this beach, one out of eight nests is marked for further study as shown here.
