Actually, there's no "spring break" for yours truly. However, throngs of young folks (and throngs of older ones, too) have invaded Hutchinson Island from north end to south.
Well, not so much as "throngs" as clusters... and not so much of an invasion, either. It's fairly quiet here.
Still, we are not onlt smack-dab in the middle of sea turtle nesting season but also (geographically) their destination.
I haven't actively gone out to look for signs of nesting on my beach but I plan to...very soon.
The "season" brings the perils facing these turtles in sharp focus.
Lights from the street, from night walkers on the beach, even cell phones present nesting turtles, and eventually hatchlings, with misguiding illumination that could have dire and tragic consequences.
More people on the beach also means the likelihood  of more plastic debris and fishing line being left on the sand or in the surf.
I can only imagine how awesome a sight it would be if a full-grown leatherback (7-feet long) were to lumber out of the rolling waves in front of curious tourists. I would just hope they's have enough common sense to give the turtle a wide berth and not disturb it while it digs its nest and lays eggs.
So, while we're all having fun and enjoying the sun and surf, I'm hoping folks remember to keep wildlife in mind...and keep special watch out for those things that might harm the turtles.
