Marine biologists relocate sea turtle eggs from California beaches
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.
Why now: Sea turtle conservation efforts draw attention because relocating eggs signals growing environmental threats to nesting beaches.
