On April 22, which is Earth Day, the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF) announced the discovery of the first sea turtle nest of the year on Captiva. The nest was identified by two SCCF volunteers who spotted the female turtle’s tracks leading to the nest in the morning. The volunteers immediately marked off the area to safeguard it from any disturbance caused by humans. To report a sea turtle nest or a false crawl or to express any concerns related to nesting or injured sea turtles, one can contact the SCCF Sea Turtle Hotline at 978-728-3663 (978-SAVE-ONE).
