Sea Turtle Hatchlings
The sea turtle is another endangered visitor to Perdido Key. They arrive between May and September to lay eggs and about two months later, if the nest has survived, the hatchlings emerge and follow the brightest light in the sky, usually the moon, which leads them by instinct to the sea. Less than 1% will survive their first year. The ones that do, return to Perdido Key to begin the cycle over. Please do your part to help them to survive by doing the following.
Remove your items from the beach at the end of each day
Use a red filter on your flashlight when ghost-crabbing
Fill in any holes in the sand at day’s end
Do not disturb nesting females, nests, or hatchlings
Turn out beachfront lights after dusk
Close blinds or curtains in beachfront homes
