Live Oceanfront Jazz at the Crowne Plaza Melbourne Beach Hotel in Indialantic, Florida
I spent a couple of days in July 2009 at the Crowne Plaza Melbourne Beach in Indialantic, Florida. I was there to participate in a turtle walk with the Sea Turtle Preservation Society and gather some photos and info for some articles and blog posts. I shot this video from the balcony of my hotel room. I don't remember the name of the band, but they were awesome! I only like certain kinds of jazz and this was great stuff.

Hundreds of tiny sea turtles find refuge at Brevard Zoo
MELBOURNE, Fla., October 10, 2018 — Brevard Zoo’s Sea Turtle Healing Center is caring for nearly 300 green and loggerhead sea turtle “washbacks” pushed ashore when Hurricane Leslie disrupted their habitat.
“When sea turtles hatch, they rely on energy stores from a yolk sac to make the multi-mile swim to offshore weed lines—floating masses of Sargassum seaweed that provide shelter and food,” explained sea turtle program manager Shanon Gann. “If the seaweed is disrupted by a storm or strong winds that wash them back to shore, the little turtles do not have the energy to make the long swim again.”
Healing Center staff and volunteers are caring for the washbacks for a few days until open ocean conditions improve; at that time, they will be transported offshore in a boat and placed in weed lines.
Sea Turtle Preservation Society (STPS) volunteers are transporting the turtles to the Healing Center. Individuals who find washbacks should immediately call STPS at 321-676-1701 or Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission at 1-888-404-3922 for rescue instructions.

Turtle Walk with the STPS on July 8, 2009
Turtle walk with the Sea Turtle Preservation Society on July 8, 2009. We were fortunate enough to witness a loggerhead as she laid her eggs and then made her way back to the ocean. Video was shot using infrared nightshot technology and the naturalist guides were using special red-filtered flashlights so we wouldn't startle the turtle. PLEASE DO NOT SHINE LIGHTS AT BEACHING OR NESTING TURTLES!!!
Baby turtle dash for the surf Sunshine Coast
On Saturday we were lucky enough to see the last of many turtles from a large nest on Kawana beach make a dash through the sand to the surf. Baby loggerhead, which if it survives it will come back to the same sand dunes to lay its eggs.
Baby Turtles! Baby Loggerhead turtles leaving the nest. Cocoa Beach Florida
If you are following me on instagram, you know I post a lot of sunrise pictures. (If you are not following me, please check out my page )This time of year; the Loggerhead turtles and Greenback turtles visit our coastline every year to lay their eggs. I have yet to see one of these turtles come ashore, but I do see their tracks quite often. (Yes, the pictures are on my IG page). Another thing I have yet to see are the baby turtles hatching and racing to the water...until today…
It seemed like a normal Monday. Alarm went off at 445. Took the dogs out, ate my banana, drank my glass of water and laced up for a 3’ish mile run. I come home, kick off the running shoes, grab my flip flops to do a little walk on the beach to cool down from the run, get my toes in the sand, and of course catch the sunrise. Today’s sunrise was a beauty (of course I say that most mornings). There was the added bonus of a set of turtle tracks. I do get excited every time I come across the tracks. I try to imagine seeing this gentle giant come from the sea, working her way up the shoreline to find the perfect place for her nest and eggs. The turtles do get spooked easily and turn around often without laying their eggs. It has to be just right.
As I was approaching 14th St, I noticed the sand was moving. There were these tiny dark spots coming from the soft sand and heading into the water. There were dozens of baby turtles racing to the ocean. It was amazing. Yes, I got goosebumps actually seeing these tiny little turtles taking their first steps in life. They were stumbling. They were walking over each other. Some were even heading in the wrong direction (turn around little buddy, the ocean is EAST) Some of these little creatures also discovered the harshness of life too. The seagulls starting swooping in, picking up the helpless turtles for their morning breakfast. The unfortunate circle of life.
Members of the Sea Turtle Preservation Society were walking up the beach doing their daily ritual of marking nests, handing out literature and helping the baby turtles make it to the ocean. They were able to help shoo away the birds and clear a path through the seaweed to give these turtles a chance. They did let us know they were baby loggerhead turtles and it was kind of rare to see them leave the nest so late (it was after sunrise about 7am). Normally the break from their eggs and nest much earlier (2, 3, 4 in the morning) to use the cover of night to allow safe passage from the birds and crabs that are looking for the easy prey of a baby turtle. If you would like to learn more about the Sea Turtle Preservation Society, please visit their website
I am a huge fan of catching the sunrise (It is the best way to start the day) you need to try and work this into your schedule. This time of year, I almost recommend starting an hour before sunrise to give yourself a chance of seeing a Momma Turtle heading back to sea. At the very least; you should see some of the tracks she leaves behind. If you are really lucky; you will get to see some of the baby turtles take their first steps towards the ocean. If you do any of the above; take some pictures and post them on instagram! It would be great if you tagged me in the picture too @Eric_Larkin is my username. #ToesInTheSand #BestWayToStartTheDay #TurtleSeason2017 are some of my favorite hashtags for my morning pics.

Florida Keys Webcam Captures Sea Turtle Hatch
Using infrared lighting, a live-streaming, high-definition turtle webcam positioned on a beach in the Florida Keys recorded the hatch of about 100 baby loggerhead sea turtles on Friday, July 25, just before 9 p.m.
Friday evening, the 3-inch-long babies erupted from a hole, came out en masse and headed to the Atlantic Ocean under dim moonlight.
The camera uses infrared lighting so hatchlings won't be confused by artificial light and will go to sea — guided by moonlight reflecting on the water -- instead of pushing further onto land.
The webcam has been focused on the nest in the Lower Keys for almost two weeks, and is part of ongoing efforts in the Florida Keys to raise awareness of sea turtles and the need to protect them.
Loggerhead, green, leatherback, hawksbill and Kemp's ridley sea turtles nest on beaches in the Keys and other parts of Florida, and inhabit Florida and Keys waters. All five species are considered either threatened or endangered, and are protected by the Federal Endangered Species Act of 1973.
The webcam was approved by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Boardwalk at Turkey Creek Sanctuary
This boardwalk takes you through scenic areas along Turkey Creek. This part of the boardwalk takes you by the Canoe Deck area where you can right down by the creek. I saw lots of turtles here and heard alligators swimming off as I approached. This is a very casual hike but immerses you in nature. Here is a link to my hike:
Acquired and managed by the City of Palm Bay, the Audubon Society, and the EEL Program, a boardwalk nature trail, and jogging trails wind through the 130-acre sanctuary. The boardwalk trail passes through hydric (wet) hammock, mesic (moist) hammock, and sand pine scrub communities, and much of it overlooks Turkey Creek. Here is the link for the website:
