The Turtles Have Hatched And Made It Safely Out To Sea

For everyone wondering about the turtle next aroun MP18, they have hatched and made it out to sea.

Here is the official report from N.E.S.T.

Nest #3 (CNWR in the 4WD area) surprised us with an early (or rather late) morning emergence.  At 8 o'clock on Friday morning we had just over 40 hatchlings march their way to the rough ocean.  The entire beach was getting over wash so there was concern that we would see any activity at all on the nest but sure enough, they found their way through.  Five more came out that night and then no activity the following two nights.  We excavated last night and found 17 live hatchlings trying to work their way through the sand.  All were released after dark and are on their way today.
