PANAMA CITY BEACH  Tourists aren t the only ones expected to make a welcomed appearance along Bay County s coast this summer. Just days into the 2021 sea turtle nesting season, Kennard Watson, director of Panama City Beach Turtle Watch, said he hopes this year will continue an upward trend of sea turtles nesting along the county s coast.  We re expecting any week now, perhaps any day now, that we ll get our first nest, Watson said. I haven t heard of any nests on nearby beaches (either), but we re looking forward to getting busy here very soon.

Panama City Beach Florida sea turtle nesting season underway

As a local nonprofit organization, his group works to identify and protect sea turtle nests along more than 17 miles of beaches in Bay County, from St. Andrews State Park to Camp Helen State Park.  Last year, PCB Turtle Watch tagged 47 nests, of which the majority were loggerheads. Some also were green sea turtles. Both are threatened species.  According to Beach Councilman Phil Chester, Florida beaches are responsible for about 90% of all sea turtles nesting in the U.S.  Because of this, Chester said it is apparent the Panhandle plays a crucial role in the survival of sea turtles.   We whole-heartedly support and appreciate the efforts of Turtle Watch and their many volunteers, he wrote in an email. We ask everyone to be mindful of the turtle nests and leave no trace on the beach overnight.
