We are thinking of all of our friends, fans, and fellow turtle team members in the aftermath of Hurricane Sally. So many of us were impacted, some more severely than others. We won't have an update on our remaining nests until we have had time to do some cleaning up and taking care of each other, but we expect to have lost all 19 that we had left on our beaches. ...

Our hatchlings have a tough enough chance at survival. We all need to do our part to not make it any harder on them by littering their oceans with the remnants of our plastic trash.

With storms rolling in and waves washing up higher on the beach, we do expect to see some of our nests impacted. As weather permits, we are checking on all nests, so there is no need to call the hotline to report nest wash over (though we do appreciate your involvement!). Sea turtle nests can withstand a certain amount of wash over, depending on what stage the eggs are in incubation. We cannot move nests to prevent impacts from storms, as this can often cause more damage than leaving them in place.
Please DO call if you see eggs or hatchlings on the beach. If conditions are safe, we will come out to secure them. (866)SEA-TURTLE.
Remember, stay off the beach in heavy rain, surf, and especially lightning. Hoping all of our coastal friends stay safe over the next few days!

Coastal Cleanup is coming! As long as you're spending time outdoors on our beaches, bays and waterways, why not pitch in, help clean up, and keep these areas enjoyable for everyone! There will be sites set up along the entire AL coastline (out of state friends, check your local area!), so if you prefer a site closer to home, there are plenty to choose from!
#alabamacoastalfoundation #sharethebeach #cleandarkflat #coastalcleanupLooking for a great way to stay socially distant and still get involved in your community? Hopefully you'll consider joining us at the Alabama Coastal Cleanup next month, on September 19th!

ACF will be running Perdido Bay and Flora-Bama zones. If you are interested in helping with either site email tthomason@joinacf.org.
Visit their website www.alabamacoastalcleanup.com to learn more about this annual cleanup effort! ... See MoreSee Less
