Coastal North Carolina Find the loggerhead sea turtle nest. (Hint: Loggerhead females lay their eggs in sandy nests on the beach.) After digging out of their nest during the night, hatchlings swim out to the Gulf Stream and spend several years living in large floating reefs of sargassum seaweed. As juveniles, the turtles move closer to shore and take advantage of the abundant food available in North Carolina’s sounds. Adult loggerhead turtles spend the rest of their lives in the open ocean, females only returning to shore to lay eggs. Can you find a hatchling, a juvenile, and an adult loggerhead turtle? |
