Show Notes
Florida sees record sea turtle nests in 2025, with green turtles laying 66,476 nests and leatherbacks smashing their own record with 2,112 nests. The Florida Aquariums Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Center prepares young turtles for release, with green turtles recently downgraded from highly endangered to lower concern. Biologists emphasize the importance of year-round conservation efforts, as sea turtles mature slowly and impacts wont be fully seen for decades. The center currently treats 21 turtles, with rehab taking up to a year. As nesting season approaches, beachgoers are encouraged to pack out trash, fill sand holes, dim lights, and avoid confusing hatchlings.
