Sea Turtle nests usually hatch at night. and the first turtles emerge in the early morning. Once the nests become active
they need to be monitored around the clock. Nests then need to be escavated and inventoried to free any trapped hatchlings
that didn't emerge on their own.
Participants will assist in excavations, record data on nest contents, measure and care for hatchlings, and help manage hatchling
releases.
