The season is winding down and there is no significant change for the sea turtle activity update for Marco Island. Still, we have the highest rate of disorientation with 25% of this year’s hatched nests were disoriented. 

According to the Collier County Sea Turtle Protection Plan Annual Report, “Marco Island beach was the first surveyed for sea turtle activities in 1990. In 1994, the “Collier County Sea Turtle Protection Program” was developed to survey mainland beaches in response to area-wide beach renourishment.  The consistent data collection will assist biologists in detecting local population trends of sea turtles, and the local impacts of beach renourishment.” 

This report is prepared by Mary Toro, Supervisor – Environmental Parks & Recreation of Collier County.
