Subscriber only Residents are being urged to be on the lookout for baby turtles washing up on Coast beaches due to exhaustion and plastic consumption as hatching season draws to an end. Sea Life Sunshine Coast s Kate Willson said four loggerhead hatchlings had been brought to the aquarium s turtle rehabilitation centre in the 2020/21 nesting season, but only two had survived. Pesto, a recently hatched loggerhead turtle, was taken to the facility in early March after being found in Castaways Beach. But he was unable to be saved. Hatchling Pesto was found on Castaways Beach near Noosa but died after consuming microplastics. Picture: Sea Life Sunshine Coast
