Florida's Sea Turtles
Florida's Sea Turtles
Sea turtle nesting season in Broward County is from March 1 - October 31 annually.
Five species of sea turtles call Florida's waters home: leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea), loggerhead (Caretta caretta), green turtle (Chelonia mydas), hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata), and Kemp’s ridley (Lepidochelys kempii). Three species of sea turtles nest annually on Broward County’s beaches: the leatherback, loggerhead, and green turtle. Nesting season for Florida’s east coast, including Broward County, lasts from March 1 – October 31 each year. During this time, female turtles emerge from the sea to lay their eggs in the sand and about two months later, hatchlings crawl from their nests and back into the ocean, all under the cover of darkness.
