Sea turtle nesting season is underway on Florida's beaches. 🥚🏖️

Each year, loggerheads, leatherbacks, and green turtles return to our shores to lay their eggs, continuing a cycle that has played out for millions of years.

If you're heading to the beach this summer, remember to fill in holes, pack out trash, and give nesting turtles plenty of space. 🐢
