Saving sea turtles
by Sandy Scott
Pinellas County Florida has a fantastic program dedicated to saving sea turtles. Rangers are constantly patrolling the beaches at Ft. Desoto Park looking for evidence of eminent hatching of sea turtle eggs and when they find evidence of eggs about to hatch, they dig them up in a timely manner and typically are able to release the live turtles the next morning before the eggs or turtles can be consumed by predators. Here is a shot of a ranger saving the eggs. His bucket has eggs about to hatch and some new hatchlings which will be released into the water. I thought a shot of this fantastic work was appropriate.
