Therese, Brianna and Windy. CREDIT: OCEARCH We are well into the 2024 sea turtle nesting season, and OCEARCH is now monitoring nine turtles that have pinged on the Florida coastline. According to OCEARCH, eight loggerhead sea turtles and one hawksbill/loggerhead hybrid turtle pinged between Deerfield Beach and Titusville between Wednesday and Friday. Therese, one of the loggerhead sea turtles, pinged Friday morning just before 6. Therese is a 216-pound adult female sea turtle, just over 3-feet long. She was originally tagged on April 25 and has swam 937 miles since then. Therese laid her first nest of the 2024 nesting season on Juno Beach. Therese the loggerhead sea turtle.

Windy is a big loggerhead sea turtle weighing 916 pounds and is over five feet long. She was originally tagged back on April 19, 2023, and traveled as far north as off the coast of Atlantic City, New Jersey. Windy, a loggerhead sea turtle. CREDIT: OCEARCH In the 14 months Windy has been tagged, she has swam 10,446 miles. Researchers have seen Windy nesting nine times. Perhaps returning to Florida in the heart of nesting season means she has more eggs to lay. Windy pinged off the coast of Cocoa Beach just before 6 a.m. on Friday.
