Sea Turtle Nest Sites by Zone
Thanks Mike Shlasko for demonstrating an exciting new way to view sea turtle nest locations. Currently we only have Manasota Key Zone 6 as a demo. This can be viewed either as a jpg. or by using Google Earth on your computer. With Google Earth you can zoom in for a closer look of the beach location and also see when the nest was laid.
