Yes, it’s that time again…
It’s Turtle Season!
One of our most treasured and beautiful natural phenomenon here on Sanibel and Captiva Islands is the arrival of the hundreds of female loggerhead turtles that make their way to our beaches and hatch their eggs.
This process officially begins on May 1st and ends on October 31st of every year.
There are many island regulations that go into effect when Turtle Season arrives, some of which include the dimming of city lights that disorient the hatchlings as they make their way toward the sea via the moonlight.
Another biggie is the careful use of furniture on the beaches, as well as simply wandering around and stepping on turtle nests in the sand unknowingly.
You can find the most up-to-date information on this subject over at the website of our friends at the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation or there’s also some great information over at MySanibel.com
Have a great weekend!
Until next week,
Sandy and Robp.s. Lotsa cool stuff over at our main website as well at SanCap One Source Realty 🙂
