Wildlife officers in each states report discovering dozens of nests since Might 1, thought of the unofficial begin of the ocean turtle nesting season.
Up to now, Georgia wildlife officers have reported greater than 50 nests, with greater than half discovered on federally protected Cumberland Island.
