You ha...Lorie, thank you so much for that comment. You have no idea how many times I think of Kirsten and what she would think of certain things going on with our sea turtles - last year's disaster, this year's boon. <br /><br />I try to contact her family every year so they know she is not forgotten and that her influence is still felt in this area.<br /><br />DJBarrier Island Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03831596639306877967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11826923.post-51563465994645810032011-08-08T17:55:34.728-05:002011-08-08T17:55:34.728-05:00That is awesome!

I belie...It has been a wild and crazy year, Lorie. I believe we have about 80 nests at this point. <br /><br />17 on Ft. Pickens, 11 on Pensacola Beach, 23 at Santa Rosa, and 29 on Perdido Key!<br /><br />We will be anxious to see what happens in 2012. If we have another high year, it may signal that our conservation efforts are finally paying off! But turtles do not come ashore to nest every year. Generally it is every other year, and some turtles (like the Greens) we come to expect every third year. It's possible things just sort of realigned themselves this year. Guess we'll find out!Barrier Island Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03831596639306877967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11826923.post-980193323079148172011-08-08T09:11:13.162-05:002011-08-08T09:11:13.162-05:00How many nests have there been this year????How many nests have there been this year????Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121583347697375990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11826923.post-66346239876089173092011-08-03T23:48:33.767-05:002011-08-03T23:48:33.767-05:00Hi Ms. DJ!

If, however, the nests are in a low spot close to or possibly even below the wrack line, about the only way to give the nest a chance it to relocate it to higher ground.Barrier Island Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03831596639306877967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11826923.post-87245200773647225892011-08-02T15:09:52.441-05:002011-08-02T15:09:52.441-05:00DJ..
