The Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation reported that volunteers helped staff paint hundreds of wooden stakes on March 12 that will be used to mark off active sea turtle nests on Sanibel and Captiva for the season. Florida’s sea turtle nesting season runs from May 1 through Oct. 31, with the SCCF’s monitoring beginning as early as April 15. For more information, visit https://sancaplifesavers.org/sea-turtles/.
