Loggerhead Sea Turtles at Eglin AFB

EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. - Twenty-three Loggerhead baby sea turtles were released into the wild off Eglin's beaches on Santa Rosa Island, Aug. 14. The baby turtles were removed from their nests by endangered species biologists a few days prior to release to enhance their chances for survival after it was discovered they were unable to dig their way out. Most sea turtles lay three to five nests with 80-140 eggs per nest. Female sea turtles return to the beach where they were born to lay their eggs. Currently, Eglin's beaches are home to more than 20 active nests. (U.S. Air Force photo/ Airman Anthony Jennings)
