When the Temperatures get Cold | An Update on the Green Sea Turtle Nest

Last year, I shared a video explaining the difference between a loggerhead and a green sea turtle after we had a very late green sea turtle nest laid in early September. This nest did begin incubating, but as fall temperatures dropped, development slowed and ultimately stopped. Sea turtle eggs rely on warm sand temperatures to develop properly, and late-season nests, face significant challenges as the weather cools. While this isn’t the outcome we hope for, updates like this are an important part of conservation. Late nests help us better understand how timing, temperature, and environmental conditions impact sea turtle reproduction. Thank you for caring about sea turtles, for asking questions, and for supporting conservation, even when the updates are hard. 🐢💚 #doturtleygood #greenseaturtle #nestingseaturtle
