Original: Biologists move unprecedented Orange County sea turtle eggs to protect them from hurricane-driven waves
Biologists in Orange County, California, have carried out an unprecedented relocation of sea turtle eggs, moving them to safer ground to protect the nest from waves driven by an approaching hurricane. Relocating sea turtle nests is rare in the region, and the operation reflects growing efforts by wildlife experts to shield vulnerable marine species as storms intensify along the Pacific coast.
Why now: An unprecedented protective action for sea turtle nests tied to hurricane threats is drawing attention.
