Did you know? The leatherback sea turtle is the largest turtle in the world. They are the only species of sea turtle that lack scales and a hard shell.

Sea turtle hatchlings are going to start popping up on our beaches, and thanks to special permits, we can collect data from hatched and unhatched eggs in sea turtle nests.
