📰 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.

You know what can help the Eastern Pacific's leatherback #seaturtle ? Expanding conservation investments beyond places like Costa Rica. There is potential for impact in El Salvador. At one beach there, there have been 3 nests in the first month of the season. #conservation #leatherback

I volunteered one summer with a sea turtle research center in Costa Rica—and my first encounter with a leatherback left me a little beat up.
