📰 Leatherback Sea Turtle Nests in VA for the First Time in Recorded History
🐢 Naval Air Station Oceana’s Dam Neck Annex: On this protected beach, Virginia Aquarium staff and partners located the soft, leathery eggs, secured the nest with a predator‑exclusion cage, and will monitor it through the ~60‑day incubation.
🌊 Leatherbacks usually nest on tropical beaches, not temperate Mid‑Atlantic shores. Their appearance here hints at shifting ocean conditions and the importance of keeping coastal habitats healthy.

A couple of years ago I was invited to a UiT (University of the Arctic in Tromsø) outreach day about coastal ecology. I did a practical session about drones and made this map!
How did I get unlicensed pilots to make a drone map in a no fly zone? They walked a flight pattern in teams, holding the drone up high - while a "pilot" directed them and pressed the shutter button! It was processed in time to show results at the end of the day :)

"When the saplings grow to a height of about two or three feet, the women plant them along the embankment.
"Now they are ready to act as a green barricade, their intricate and knotty root systems reaching deep into the soil, strengthening the earthen embankments to absorb the shock of sudden tidal surges."
