The goal of this blog is the show all of the great things Hilton Head has to offer, and by no fault of our island &#8211; lately, as a writer, I have had a little bit of a mental block. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A couple weeks ago, someone mentioned Sea Turtles as a potential subject &#8211; which I sort of blew off.. yes, sea turtles are a \u201cthing\u201d on Hilton Head, but no one will want to read about that\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I was driving to work a couple days ago, and still struggling with \u201cwriter\u2019s block\u201d looked over and saw a car with a Lights Out for Sea Turtles bumper sticker. I knew that you were supposed to turn out your lights on the beach at night at some time of year, which I thought was cool, and decided I would revisit this idea for a blog. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Much to my surprise, I got half way through the Town of Hilton Head article, and really felt like this was something cool and interesting, but also the things you can do to LITERALLY save these baby turtles\u2019 lives are so easy there is no reason not to do them! (I also kept thinking of that little dude from Finding Nemo and felt seriously emotionally attached to these potential \u201chatchlings\u201d AKA sea turtle babies)<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Based on my extensive* research, here are the things I think you should know about Hilton Head\u2019s seasonal residents: loggerhead babies and their mommas.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">(*not extensive)<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>ABOUT OUR TURTLE FRIENDS<\/b><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The most common sea turtles that nest on Hilton Head are called loggerheads. They have large heads, brownish or yellow skin, and adults are about 2.5 to 3.5 ft long and weigh up to 400 lbs\u2026 just massive creatures. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hiltonheadislandsc.gov\/ourisland\/NatResources\/seaturtles.cfm\">This article from The Town has a lot more fun facts for further reading.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>NESTING FUN FACTS<\/b><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Nesting season usually starts during the first or second week of May and is over by the end of August. Female Loggerheads (the mommas) will lay about 120 eggs per nest. They pick the spot for their nest based on temperature and moisture of the sand. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Once she\u2019s laid her eggs, the momma turtle covers the nest with sand, compacts said sand using her body weight, and uses her front flippers to throw the sand around. Once she\u2019s covered up the future babes, she returns to the ocean. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The eggs will incubate for about 50-60 days, and in this time the sex will be determined by the temperature. If it is warmer, the eggs will end up female and cooler temps mean more boys. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>HATCHING AND GETTING TO THE OCEAN<\/b><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The nest of up to 120 eggs starts hatching and these little hatchlings start to dig up towards the surface, waiting for the sun to go down and things to cool off in the real world they\u2019re about to enter. Once they\u2019ve gotten up there and are through to the surface, they use the skylight reflected off the water and the downward slope of the beach to find their way to the ocean. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG<\/b><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So, you\u2019re a little baby turtle (hatchling, if you prefer), you peek your head out of your nest with all your brothers and sisters, and look for the light that is supposed to guide you to the ocean\u2026 but wait\u2026 there are lights in a different direction. How is your baby turtle brain supposed to handle that???<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When lights toward the inland are brighter than the skylight reflection off the ocean, naturally the hatchlings get disoriented and start moving inland\u2026 and as any parent knows, once that baby starts down the wrong path there are a number of things that could go wrong. For baby sea turtles mainly that means dying from:<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\r\n \t<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dehydration<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Exhaustion<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Drowning in a pool<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Getting hit by a car<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Predators<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>HOW CAN I SAVE THESE HATCHLINGS<\/b><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Loggerhead Sea Turtles are listed as threatened by both the federal government and state of South Carolina, which is an easy thing to say and even, according to the Town of Hilton Head, can cause people to feel like there is nothing they can do about it. But there <b><i>are<\/i><\/b> things you can do and they aren\u2019t that hard!! <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiltonheadislandsc.gov\/ourisland\/NatResources\/animals\/seaturtle.cfm\">Here are the tips the Town gives:<\/a><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\r\n \t<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Buildings visible from the beach: Turn <b>out<\/b> your <b>outside<\/b> lights at 10PM from May 1 to October 31 (nesting and hatching season).<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">If your inside lights are visible or cast light on the beach, close your drapes or blinds after 10PM or just turn your lights off during that same nesting\/hatching season. <\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Don\u2019t leave umbrellas, chairs, or other beach accessories on the beach overnight. The moms can get tangled and the babies can get disoriented or stuck, just like with the lights. <\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you are digging and building castles during the day, fill your holes or flatten them out when you\u2019re done &#8211; these can become death traps if the hatchlings get stuck. <\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Throw away your trash and recyclables &#8211; which you should anyway!<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"li1\"><b><\/b><span class=\"s1\"><b>DO NOT DISTURB THE NESTS, MOMS, OR BABY TURTLES IF YOU SEE THEM.<\/b><\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you need to report a violation, on weekdays you can contact Town of Hilton Head Island Code Enforcement Officers: Wendy Conant &#8211; (843) 341-4643.
