Alabama beachgoers reminded to stay away from nesting sea turtles
Ala. —
People on an Alabama beach apparently caused a sea turtle to leave before laying her eggs.
The Alabama Ecological Services Field Office posted on social media that the mother turtle tried to set up a nest and lay eggs, but a crowd of people and flashing lights deterred her from finding a good nest site.
