July 2, 2009. We've passed the halfway point of the nesting
season. Our most recent nest was laid at the Dunes of Panama
Condo on Thomas Drive. The turtle had to maneuver between
beach chairs and canopies before she found a spot to lay her eggs.
Volunteers moved the furniture to clear a path for the turtle (see
Nest Information for more
details). Nests that were laid in early June will start to
hatch at the end of July. If you see a turtle or tracks on Panama City
Beach, immediately call 888-404-3922 (24-hr hotline) and please
remember not to crowd or shine lights on a nesting turtle. Contact us at Turtle Watch
for more information about our program.
