The following images are from a personal project I've been working on about Florida Sea Turtles. Turtle nesting numbers are down, WAY down for loggerheads especially in the area where I live now. Many beaches are more "turtle friendly" than they used to be as far as lighting goes, but there are still a lot of factors that make a hatchlings chance of survival tough. Some suggest only 1% make it. I'll have some firm numbers of how bad the season was around October. I think I may continue the project through next nesting season looking at other obstacles facing these very cool critters. Not really sure what I will do with the finished product, I'll try to publish of course, just not sure where yet. Open to suggestions.

This is the first of hopefully many projects I'll be working on under the working title of Endangered America. -james
