On this beautiful morning. Sunday NMB STP Volunteers are all out walking their early morning segments, all looking for any potential signs of a Sea Turtle crawl or nest. As they all know how important their walks will be in protecting and saving the Endangered Sea Turtle species. Thank you to all who are out walking the NMB and Briarcliffe areas and to all the day leaders.
While segment walkers Crystal and Margarete are walking their early morning walk, they are stopped by the NMB sanitation workers ( a possible nest) as Crystal and Margarete are almost there and to their excitement. Yes a crawl and body pit for sure!
The calls are made to the NMB STP hotline and day leader Arlene. NMB STP Volunteers are on their way.
looking at signs of where the Sea Turtle Would of nested in order to find and protect the Endangered Sea Turtle Nest.
Probing is done and Yes eggs are found.
As this Sea Turtle nest is in an unsafe place on the beach it is relocated to a safer place on the beach.
125 eggs are found
Don and Kim brings the cage and places around the nest to help protect from any animals that may be sharing the beach.
