Loggerhead Sea Turtles Nesting on Casey Key, Florida

Here on the pristine beaches of Casey Key, Florida, it’s turtle nesting season and we’re anxiously watching the sands for signs of our familiar loggerhead sea turtles who come back to build their nests and deposit their eggs. Mote Marine Laboratory’s Sea Turtle Conservation and Research Program staff and volunteers continue to tag and monitor these wonderful creatures, and it’s interesting to watch the satellite tracking of named turtles such as Bitsy, Chemen, Chompy, Ruth, Wham, and more. Visit Casey Key Loggerheads to see the satellite tracking of our “seasonal” aquatic residents on Casey Key.

We have to remember that people and lights from homes can disorient female turtles; so we do our best to keep things quiet and serene if we spot a loggerhead. Once they arrive, the little hatchlings eventually move to sea at night as protection against predators, and they instinctively move toward the lightest sky. Before development, the lightest sky was over the ocean, with moonlight reflecting on the water. We’re doing our best to help the little loggerheads survive by keeping things dark around here at night.

So where do these hatchlings end up? We wondered, too, so we did a little homework. Here’s what we found out:

“During the first year after hatching, many species of sea turtles are rarely seen. This first year is known as the "lost year." Researchers generally agree that most hatchlings spend their first few years living an oceanic existence before appearing in coastal areas. Although the migratory patterns of the young turtles during the first year has long been a puzzle, most researchers believe that they ride prevailing surface currents, situating themselves in floating seaweed where they are can find food.” (From Busch Gardens fun facts.)

Our sea turtle nesting season adds a spectacular natural dimension to living on Casey Key, Florida, where we enjoy the wildness of the Gulf of Mexico, the beauty of the beach and bay, native plants, palm trees, sea breezes, and ever so glorious sunsets.

Weather in Sarasota Perfect for Casey Key Beach Walks

Need to clear your head from all the economic worries currently facing our country? Residents of Casey Key are enjoying Sarasota's perfect weather for beach walking. We've had some nice rains and fall is in the air especially early morning. The breeze from the Gulf is wonderful and worries just seem to disappear when walking on the beach.

Listening to CNBC on whether to stay in the market, get out of the market can be mind boggling! Snuffy and I headed to Casey Key to see the Herrons and took a long walk on the beach. It does wonders for back pain and brain freeze. Collect shells or sea glass or just wander. The sounds of waves crashing on the shore, sea gulls fluttering above and pelicans diving for their dinner are comforting too. An hour into your walk, you are starving and ready to stop at the Casey Key Fish House for lunch or the new deli on Blackburn Point Road.
