Come watch science in action! A public sea turtle nest excavation will be taking place SOON:

🐢 Monday, July 28, at 9:00am on Ocracoke Island (park in the Ocracoke Pony Pen Beach Access parking lot).

Nest location: Walk down the beach access path towards the beach. On the beach walk north (left) for approximately 250 feet.

⌚️ Please allow for extra time to walk to the nest, as we will start promptly at 9:00am. Bring water and sunscreen.

Watch Park biologists dig up a recently hatched nest and inventory what’s inside. They will count empty eggshells, collect unhatched eggs, and occasionally find live and/or dead hatchlings during these excavations. While the biologists perform their examination of the nest, a park ranger will present a program on sea turtles and share what the biologists have found. Photos and updates from this nest excavation will be posted in the comment section below.

For more information and to learn about additional upcoming public nest excavations, visit our webpage: https://www.nps.gov/caha/learn/nature/seaturtles.htm
