Sea turtles are thriving with tourists gone

The marine creatures, which find nesting on sandy beaches difficult due to crowds and pollution, are thriving while humans are cooped up indoors.

A loggerhead sea turtle hatchling reaches the surf after emerging from a nest on Ossabaw Island, Georgia, US. Picture: Georgia Department of Natural Resources via APMr Godfrey explained sea turtles need to be undisturbed when nesting on beaches and hatchlings tend to get distracted by lights from beachfront areas.But with the tourists gone and beachside activity on pause, the turtles are finding it easier to nest.

“It’s going to be a really good year,” Sarah Hirsch, senior manager of research and data at Loggerhead Marinelife Center, told Florida’s“Our world has changed, but these turtles have been doing this for millions of years and it’s just reassuring and gives us hope that the world is still going on.” Coronavirus has allowed sea turtles to get their nesting habitats back in time for the northern spring.“This is a very good sign for us because many areas for spawning have been destroyed by humans,” Phuket Marine Biological Center director Kongkiat Kittiwatanawong said.

Don’t let China know about this because they will eat them all.

Having a small group of Billionaires use their money and power to destroy Civil Liberty and Freespeech, dump millions on the dole and demolish humanity is great news. well done. Maybe they could Nuke the place too. I hear thats good for cockroaches

shut up propagandist

A few months respite, then it'll be back to the same growth mentality. More people = More diseases More people = Less nature

Too bad you people down there couldn’t make provisions for the nesting season previously! WHY NOT?!?
