Turtle Watch: Hatchling season starts early this year

As of July 3, with 136 nests laid on Longboat Key, we're beginning to catch up a bit on last year's larger numbers (148 nests for the same time last year). The sea-turtle hatchling season has officially begun a little sooner than expected due to the heat and relatively dry weather.
