Help to spot marine turtles W e need citizen scientists to walk our beaches, identify marine turtle tracks and nests, and collect information about potential threats. NSW TurtleWatch promotes long-term recovery and conservation of marine turtles and engages locals to monitor beaches for nests, train and enlist volunteers to assist management agencies protect nests from marine debris, coastal erosion, and light pollution on nesting beaches to contribute to conservation. If you can assist see the tutorials and manual for details on our website on how to start collecting beach monitoring data or get in touch to request more information and guidance. A rare nest of endangered loggerhead turtle eggs was discovered at Shelly Beach recently. Beach walkers found the nest after seeing a turtle crawl into the waves, promptly called WIRES, triggering alerts to NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), NSW TurtleWatch and Central Coast Council. Council built a fence around the sand dune to protect the site as the mother had buried the nest in an area popular with beachgoers. People could crush eggs or collapse the nest by walking over the top. Predators such as foxes or dogs, goannas and birds are potential nest raiders. Experts from these organisations anticipate the nest had 100 to 150 turtle eggs which, depending on sand temperatures, normally hatch in around 8 to 12 weeks’ time. 24HR RESCUE HOTLINES 0447 877 149 https://:seabirdrescue.org.au Rescuing Seabirds, Shorebirds, Sea Turtles and Sea Snakes in NSW
