Only female Sea Turtles comes ashore to nest; males rarely return to land after crawling into the sea as hatchlings. Most females return to nest on the beach where they were born (natal beach). Nesting seasons occur from April through October. Most females nest at least twice during each mating season; some may nest up to ten times in a season. A female will not nest in consecutive years, typically skipping one or two years before returning.

The Sea Turtle is 150 million old species and it is in danger of extinction. Please do not consume its meat, eggs or use any oils, lotions, decorations, etc which derive from this gentle vegetarian.
