During this year’s turtle nesting season, May 1 through October 31, Nassau County is starting a new tradition of Turtle Talk Tuesdays.
This week’s Turtle Talk Tuesday is focusing on how to protect sea turtles in the open ocean. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration , the leading cause of turtle death and injuries come from being hit by boats. In Florida alone, injuries consistent with vessel strikes are observed in 20-30 percent of stranded sea turtles.
In the southeast, adult sea turtles are particularly vulnerable to boat strikes during nesting season as they often swim near nesting beaches.
