Loggerhead turtles set record nesting numbers on Georgia beaches

Loggerhead sea turtles laid a record 4,292 nests on Georgia beaches this year, a conservation milestone described as a hard-won rebound from a low of just 358 nests in 2004. The endangered species' recovery is being credited to decades of protection efforts along the state's coastline, and wildlife advocates are celebrating the results.

Why now: The record nesting count marks a major success for endangered species conservation after two decades of recovery efforts.
