One of our dreams is to work a full night where we do not find balloons washed up on the beach. Whenever there is a wind from the east, balloons, plastic debris and assorted garbage wash up along our beach. The bits of plastic will often end up eaten by all species of sea turtles and other marine life. A few years ago, we removed a large mass of plastic from one of our leatherbacks named "Sara" Hopefully, all of the plastic was removed, but she has not been seen since that season.
On a better note, the streak continues - two more turtles! Last night, Bunny (the easter turtle) tried to nest near the Jupiter Reef Club but hit the seawall and turned around. She came back an hour or two later and also tried to nest, but was unsuccessful. There was also another new turtle that nested down south in Lost Tree Village.
