INDIAN ROCKS BEACH, Fla. -- Just as they have for millions of years, sea turtles by the thousands made their labored crawl from the ocean to U.S. beaches to lay their eggs over the past several months. This year, record nesting was found in Florida and elsewhere despite growing concern about threats from climate change.
In Florida, preliminary state statistics show more than 133,840 loggerhead turtle nests, breaking a record set in 2016. Same for green turtles, where the estimate of at least 76,500 nests is well above the previous mark set in 2017.
High sea turtle nest numbers also have been reported in South Carolina, Alabama, North Carolina and Georgia, although not all set records like Florida, where Justin Perrault, vice president of research at Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach, said the number of nests is remarkable this year.
“We had more nests than we had ever seen before on our local beaches,” said Perrault, whose organization monitors Palm Beach County and broke a local record by 4,000 nests. “That's quite a bit of nesting.”

Just something else the retarded, far-left, commie libs want to worry about.
What happened to Darwin and his theories of evolution and adaptation to the environment? I know it’s just a theory, but the left was swearing by it.
The plastics are a much greater threat than global warming. Most of the waste is packaging materials.
Plastics break down into smaller and smaller pieces and then clog up an animal’s organs.
Kind of like those polyester masks people were forced to wear left debris in people’s lungs. The disease is called plasticosis.
My professor was developing biodegradable packaging for this reason, but the university required the vaccine so he had a heart attack and died.
See my username.
The bioassay is that the sea turtles are flourishing despite.
The fact that the population of endangered sea turtles is increasing is just more proof of the devastating consequences of Global Warming.
Apparently.
Me too.
” Just as they have for millions of years”
How do they know that?
Have mock turtles become extinct?
