Thanks for the excellent interview Hannah @WCTVNews! Numbers are down this year across the northern Gulf, but no need to worry! It’s part of the natural variability of sea turtle nesting. Check out the story at the Linkin.Bio. #OurBluePlanet #ThinkBlue #OceanConservation #conservationmatters⁠

I caught up with Robbie Gaffney of @wfsupublicmedia to chat about this year's #seaturtle nest numbers and the threats they face here in the Florida Panhandle. Check it out at https://news.wfsu.org/wfsu-local-news/2021-07-09/fewer-sea-turtles-are-nesting-this-season-on-alligator-point-st-george-island!

New Publication Alert! Hot off the Remote Sensing presses, our latest work pairs sea turtle nesting data with beach elevation, slope, tide, and offshore wave data to identify priority nesting beaches in the Florida Panhandle for future efforts such as habitat protection or research and development of⁠

That face you make when you watch a dinosaur nest. And by dinosaur, I mean a green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas). #turtlenerds⁠

The loggerheads are messing with us this year on St George Island. They waited until the lightning and rain hit from TS Claudette last night to decide to come up and nest. #DeviousTurtles #CraftyCaretta⁠

#SeaTurtleWeek wraps up its threat countdown with plastic pollution. Plastic is a staple of our modern lives due to its customization and durability - features that increase its persistence and impact in the marine environment. In addition to physical impacts from the plastic item itself (ex. ingestion, lacerations, entanglement), it may also leach byproducts into the water and transport hitchhiking species out of their native range.⁠
