During a routine cleanup along the southern dunes, volunteers stumbled upon a rare sea turtle
nest marked by fresh tracks and a shallow depression in the sand. The Coastal Cleanup Corps
quickly contacted local wildlife authorities, who confirmed the nest belonged to a threatened
species. The area was cordoned off for protection, and volunteers were trained on how to identify
and report future sightings. This discovery highlights the importance of preserving natural
habitats through regular cleanups. Wildlife experts provided guidance on monitoring the nest and
preventing human disturbance. Educational signage was installed to inform beachgoers about the
nesting process and conservation efforts. The find has sparked interest in expanding habitat
monitoring as part of future cleanup events.
