Marine biologists are relocating sea turtle eggs from beaches in California, a conservation measure typically carried out to protect nests from threats such as erosion, predators or changing temperatures. The effort involves carefully collecting eggs and moving them to safer locations so hatchlings have a better chance of survival. Details on which species are involved and how many nests have been moved remain limited.

A rescuer in Florida found a sea turtle hatchling at the bottom of a set of stairs, far from the shoreline where it should have been heading. The tiny turtle was rescued and presumably returned toward the sea. The story is drawing attention for its unusual detail — a hatchling ending up in a built-up area, disoriented and stranded, which highlights the hazards baby sea turtles face during nesting season.
