Rare Sea Turtles Born on the Outer Banks
A rare nest of Leatherback sea turtles located in Kill Devil Hills “boiled” around 9:00 p.m. August 27th. Approximately 60 baby turtles were hatched.
A Leatherback nest is very rare on the Outer Banks, and this is the first recorded occurrence.
Volunteers from NEST monitored the boil and assisted the baby turtles to the ocean when needed.
