"Turtles are once again proving that slow and steady wins the race.
Decades after initiating protections for the turtles that nest on Florida's
southeast coast — the densest nesting region in the world — conservationists
are now witnessing the fruits of their labor as the number of turtle nests
increased exponentially all over the state.
While the entire state is seeing a record number of sea turtle nests this
season, the numbers have tripled since last year in Space Coast, Florida, a
72-mile span of beach on Florida's central east coast near Kennedy Space Center
and Cape Canaveral, experts told
ABC News.
So far in 2023, Space Coast has recorded a whopping 20,545 in loggerhead nests,
31,893 green sea turtle nests, 61 leatherback nests and three Kemp's Ridley
nests, with a total count of more than 52,500 nests in that area alone,
according to the Space Coast Office of Tourism and the Canaveral National
Seashore."
