In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the findings of a survey regarding nesting sea turtles and bird species along a local beach property. The survey revealed that no nesting sea turtles were observed at the time of the assessment. However, the city's marine conservationist confirmed that the beach area is known for annual sea turtle nesting.
Additionally, the meeting highlighted the presence of Lee's terns, a state-listed bird species, which were documented nesting along the beach north of the property in 2021. Historical data collected by the city indicates that the property currently offers suitable nesting habitat for sea turtles, emphasizing the importance of ongoing conservation efforts in the area. The discussions underscored the need for continued monitoring and protection of these vital habitats to support local wildlife.
