How can I help the Loggerhead Turtles?

If you see a nesting or injured sea turtle on the beach, please call the Bald Head Island Conservancy Wildlife Emergency Hotline at 910-457-0089 x 5

Turn off all flashlights or stop by the Bald Head Island Conservancy for some red cellophane to put over your flashlight. Turtles are disoriented by white light, but can’t see red light!

Turn off all outside lights at night as light causes the hatchlings to go in the wrong direction.

Fill in holes on the beach and pack up your beach equipment. Turtles can easily fall into holes or run into your beach gear if left overnight.

Always remember your reusable shopping bags to help reduce the use of plastic.

Keep dogs on a leash.

Adopt a sea turtle nest!

Stay off the dunes and never disturb a turtle nest. Stay quiet and keep your distance if you see and adult sea turtle coming on shore to nest.

Please Report all sightings of nesting turtles, dead turtles, unmarked nests or crawls (looks like a bulldozer came out of the water). Call the Bald Head Island Conservancy at 910-457-0089

2019 Sea Turtle Season on Bald Head Island, NC

Nesting season mid May to early August

Hatching season mid July to late September

Nests 110
False Crawls 158
Moms 70

Identification: Loggerheads are named for their large, cylindrical heads. They usually grow to three feet long and three feet wide, and weigh in at approximately 300 pounds

Conservation: Endangered, loggerhead populations are declining because of; climate change, pollution, beach erosion and development, poaching, and fishery bycatch

FUN FACTS

Their diet is influenced by their strong jaws, allowing them to consume crustaceans with hard shells

Loggerheads live in all oceans, excluding the arctic, and typically prefer to live in coastal regions rather than the deep sea

Only 1 in 1000 sea turtles will live to maturity

The s*x of the loggerhead hatchling is determined by the temperature of the nest

Loggerheads are known to repeatedly nest on the beach where they were born

In a given summer a female may lay up to 5 nests

The eggs will incubate for about 50-70 days, they hatch at night and use the light of the moon and the stars on the ocean to find their way
