Sea turtles are a keystone species, meaning their ecological impact is disproportionately large relative to their abundance, and removing them triggers cascading failures across marine food webs. Without sea turtles, seagrass beds could overgrow and collapse, jellyfish could explode in number, coral reefs could be smothered by sponges, and coastal dunes would lose a critical nutrient source — fundamentally altering entire marine ecosystems.

The practice of keeping the beaches clean, dark and flat helps sea turtles during nesting season. Remove all chairs, umbrellas, toys, tents before sunset. Obstacles can trap nesting females or block hatchlings from reaching the water. Artificial light disorients hatchlings , who head toward the brightest horizon and discourages females from coming ashore to nest. Many Florida counties enforce lighting ordinances during nesting season that prohibit visible lights of any type on the beach. Fill in all holes and knock down sandcastles before leaving. Even a small hole can trap a hatchling. Leave the sand surface smooth so both nesting females and hatchlings have a clear, unobstructed path.

Human-related threats drastically reduce the already slim survival chances of sea turtle hatchlings. While the natural survival rate is estimated at 1 in 1,000, anthropogenic factors push this figure even lower, with some estimates suggesting only 1 in 10,000 may reach adulthood.

Public Service Announcement — Fill Your Holes & Craters 🐢

The turtles need your help...

Our friends at Anna Maria Island Turtle Watch & Shorebird Monitoring, AMITW posted this today, and honestly, we could have written it ourselves:

"If you dig a hole at the beach, please fill it back in before you leave. Today we had to fill in a very large hole and several smaller ones... that could have been deadly for turtles and harmful to people."

Same story here on Manasota Key. This photo was taken on our beach — that's one of our own team members standing in it, and the hole is deep enough to swallow her past the hips.

Now imagine a 300-pound nesting sea turtle falling into that on her way up the beach. Or a two-inch hatchling, crawling toward the water in the dark, hitting a wall of loose sand it can't climb out of.

This isn't a one-beach problem. It's happening up and down the Gulf Coast right now — while nests are still hatching and the last of this year's nesting mothers are still coming ashore.

So here's the ask — from every turtler on every beach, from AMI to Manasota Key and beyond:
Fill in every hole before you leave the beach. Knock down sandcastles and moats. Leave the beach flat behind you.

Your vacation memory shouldn't become someone else's obstacle course — or a turtle's grave.

Be the hero. Fill holes and smooth sand castles. 🐢

There are 5 species of sea turtles that nest in Florida, though they do not all nest with equal frequency. They are leatherback, loggerhead, green, kemp's ridley and hawksbill. While all five species inhabit Florida waters, only the loggerhead, green, and leatherback nest routinely and in significant numbers. Kemp’s ridley and hawksbill nests are considered rare occurrences.
