It happens every year around May 1st. On the beaches in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Bon Secour, Fort Morgan and Dauphin Island long tracks in the sand suddenly appear from the sea.
What is it? A “mama” sea turtle seeking a place to lay her eggs.
Today, because of developments along the Alabama coastline and the bright lights that go along with it, sea turtles need our help.
There is a special group dedicated to do just that and they have the perfect name: Share the Beach, a program of the Alabama Coastal Foundation.
This is the first story in a three-part series about three animals that are found only on Alabama’s coast and bays that need our protection for survival.
In this edition, learn why sea turtles matter and how you can lend a hand.
