📰 Volunteers Help Track Sea Turtle Hatching Success
🌎 Outer Banks, NC: Protecting sea turtles continues after hatchlings reach the ocean. Trained volunteers with N.E.S.T. return to nests about 72 hours after the last hatchling emerges to carefully excavate and study the nest.
🐢🥚 During excavations, volunteers count eggs, eggshells, unhatched eggs, and any remaining hatchlings. This data helps conservationists measure hatching and emergence success and estimate how many hatchlings successfully left the nest.
🔍 The effort can also document rare genetic conditions and verify nest relocation outcomes. Any live hatchlings found are safely released to continue their journey to the sea.
🤝 The information collected helps scientists monitor nesting success and strengthen sea turtle conservation efforts along North Carolina’s coast.

We Buy Lionfish From Around The World!
"How To Freeze & Ship Lionfish
Remove the venomous spines: Use scissors or shears to carefully cut off the venomous spines located on the back and sides of the lionfish. Be sure to dispose of the spines safely. (if you can’t remove all the spines please let us know before shipping)
Remove the entrails: Use a sharp knife to cut open the belly of the lionfish and remove the entrails, including the stomach and intestines.
Rinse the cavity: Rinse the cavity of the lionfish with cold water to remove any remaining blood or debris.
Freezing your fish: If you need to freeze your fish before shipping please put it in your freezer two hours after being caught. Fish should be kept on ice the entire time. Separate each fish with pieces of plastic to make sure they are not touching each other and will not stick.
Try not to open your freezer much before shipping the fish to prevent it from defrosting
Allow it to freeze for at least 24 hours before taking out for shipping
Package the lionfish: To package the lionfish for shipping, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or a vacuum-sealed bag to prevent leakage. Then, place the wrapped lionfish in an insulated box (Styrofoam is ideal) with plenty of ice packs – 1 to 4 ratio is ideal (1 lb of ice for every 4 lbs of fish) to keep it cool during transit. Be sure to label the package clearly as containing live or fresh seafood and include any necessary shipping information.
Weigh your box: and email us your name, address, please send us a picture of the fish for verification, how you want to be paid (PayPal, Venmo, cash app or check). We will then send you a label for shipping. Let us know if you want someone to pick up from location or you can drop it off at a ups office."
