Sea Turtle hatchling season is here and volunteers with the Folly Beach Turtle Watch Program were able to track two separate nests hatch and a female loggerhead turtle lay a nest over Wednesday night.

Hatchlings emerge 45 to 58 days after being laid and are released to the sea. The Padre Island National Seashore typically alerts the public of several hatchling releases throughout the year.

It can take hatchlings 50 days to several months to emerge, depending on when they were nested. “It all depends on the nest’s location and how much sun hits the ground,” Thompson said.
