The crawl continues to an area of disturbed sand, under which the nest is buried. From there, the crawl continues back into the ocean. There are, on average 2,500 to 3,000 nests laid in this area each year. Only if the nest is in certain danger - for instance, if the nest will be washed out by a storm or high tide. We interfere as little as possible with the natural incubation and hatching process.
Eggs hatch approximately two months after they are deposited.
Incubation time can range from 43 to 75 days. A typical adult loggerhead sea turtle weighs 200 to 350 pounds. Do not put hatchlings in water. Stay behind the turtle and remain still. Keep quiet, don't touch the turtle, and don't take any photographs - the flash could confuse the turtle and stop her from laying her eggs.
