Throwback to June when we were able to share Turtle Patrol with a youth camp put on by the Marco Island Police & Fire depts. The kids got to see a new loggerhead crawl and freshly laid eggs. We had an impromptu Q&A right there and – to be honest – I think the officers & firefighters were more excited than the children! It was great seeing our local authorities reinforce the importance of obeying the laws protecting these animals. Remember: turn out your lights, fill in holes on the beach and flatten sandcastles during hatching season to help these little buggers make it safely to the water!
