8-7 Prior to doing the inventory of DEB17, Haden took down the black screening that helped the turtles go seaward when they hatched. Lights from the land can lure them in the wrong direction!
8-6 Volunteer Haden, a friend and cousin watch with wonder as a hatchling makes it’s way to the ocean. They found the turtle on the beach and it likely came from DEB17.
