Leatherback Turtle Eggs Begin to Hatch at Sandy Bank Bay

By Katherine in Nature and Environment, St. Kitts

Hatching season is here! On Sunday, June 5, Christophe Harbour guests spotted 24 Leatherback turtle tracks heading towards the water on Sandy Bank Bay. The turtle’s nests were discovered, along with a baby turtle struggling to dig itself out of the sand. With a little assistance, the turtle was able to make its way to the water and take its first swim. As of now, 11 turtle nests have been marked and within the month many of the eggs should hatch.
