Another green turtle finds her way to nest on Amelia Island, 7/29/10.  The presence of eggs was verified.  Looks like she tried several body pits before nesting.


Tagged nesting turtle identified

 

A nesting loggerhead was observed to have a flipper tag.  TTR403 was seen nesting at about 4:00 AM on June 26.  We checked with the Archie Carr tagging database and found that TTR403 was tagged in 2006 on Little Cumberland Island while she was nesting.  No one has seen her since.  The database workers were glad to know she is still alive and well and successfully nesting on Amelia Island four years later.
