A female loggerhead sea turtle may travel thousands of miles to return to the beach where she hatched as a baby to lay her own eggs as an adult. A loggerhead female generally nests every two to three years. After mating, she heads to shore to lay her eggs. Even in the buried nest, the loggerhead eggs may fall prey to hungry raccoons that dig them up. The mesh cover protects the eggs from such predators.

We have 150 nests on the island as of yesterday!
The openings in the mesh are large enough to allow the tiny hatchlings to escape and it does a good job protecting the eggs from predators! :)
These nests are monitored every night and volunteers and staff try to be there when the baby turtles hatch.
