"This week, Georgia officially hit its record for sea turtle nests, with 3,966
nests recorded, according to a news release shared with CNN from the Jekyll
Island Authority's Georgia Sea Turtle Center. This surpassed 2019's record of
3,956 nests.
Loggerhead sea turtles are the most abundant sea turtle species in the United
States broadly and in Georgia, according to NOAA Fisheries, although they are
still considered endangered. Their population has been threatened by bycatch
from commercial fishing operations.
Jekyll Island was a particular hot spot for sea turtle nests this nesting
season: There were 236 sea turtle nests recorded on the island, the highest
ever recorded, the news release explained. And more than 6,000 baby loggerheads
have hatched from those nests."
