Not everyone’s world is centered around sea turtles - of this, I am very aware. But an occasional reminder keeps life in perspective… I had one such moment while working on nesting loggerheads on Melbourne Beach, Florida. One night, I came across this couple who were bent over and scanning the sand very closely with their flashlights. They were obviously searching for something on the beach - perhaps, lost jewelry or a pair of sunglasses? So, I stopped to ask what they were looking for and if I could help. They looked up and said, “We are looking for nesting sea turtles.” I have to admit there were a few minutes of astonished silence before I could explain how big these nesting sea turtles get!
