CRRIFS: Drone Footage of San Francisco Beach

It is the time of year when Olive Ridley turtles arrive and lay nests on our beaches. We have noticed a few things that are a little unusual this year. We have found lots of tracks with up to 10 arqueos. This is when the mamma digs for a bit and then moves on to another spot, leaving the sand moved around. This could be that the sand is hard and compacted due to the ATVs, or for some reason the turtles hesitate on laying eggs there. In the best scenario they come back later in the night or early the next morning and find a better spot.

In mid-July, on two occasions people on the beach witnessed the mamma laying her eggs late at night. They knew to call us, and we retrieved the eggs. This is something very few people have seen, and it is very special. We also have seen where turtles have laid their eggs very close to the water. Luckily, we got there in time to protect these nests, and they are now developing at our incubation center.

The nests we have now will start hatching in early September. If you are in San Carlos, you can participate in our largest, most popular fundraiser – Nest Adoption. When you adopt a nest, you can follow its journey to when the babies hatch. Then, attend the release where you and your family/friends/office can release the baby turtles and help them to the sea.

We have a nest Hotline set up at 622-172-9176 to call or text on WhatsApp. More information is on CRRIFS Facebook page. Please like us @CRRIFS. Centro de Rescate Rehabilitación e Investigación de Fauna Silvestre A.C. on Facebook and Instagram.
