Sea turtle nesting season has come to an end and Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium says it was a successful one.

Sea turtle nesting season has come to an end, and the numbers are in!

This season, a total of 3,786 nests were counted by Mote's Sea Turtle Conservation and Research Program, who monitored 35 miles of beaches along Florida's southwest coast from May through October.

Making this is the fourth highest year of turtle nests in their 40 years of monitoring!
