It was another rainy night here along Juno Beach. The rain started at about 3am on Wednesday night and as of this AM, has not let up. The weather station here at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center has recorded more than three inches of rain in the last 24 hours! It was cold and wet, but the crew was on the beach and we encountered another new leatherback turtle. The turtle was caught as she was covering up her nest in John D. MacArthur Beach State Park at about 1:30am.
Five turtles in four nights! This is, by far, the most turtles we have encountered so early in the season. Stay tuned.
