Nesting under cover of vegetation provides protection for the adult and stable incubation temperatures. ©D.Tilley/JBHP. Tall trees not only help maintain the stability of the beach, but also cut out the glare in the sky which as is a serious problem for turtles - and star gazers – and a difficult one to resolve. It must be noted...

The JUMBY BAY Hawksbill Project. Stories from the beach . and beyond! Tuesday, 3 July 2012. At one month in we have seen 27 turtles with 40 nests! 5 girls are new to the nesting population and surprisingly, we have already seen 2 nests hatch - which means nesting activity started in late April! More updates to come. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Jumby Bay Hawksbill Project. Antigua Sea Turtles blog. JBHP 1987 - 2011. Picture Window template. Template images by sbayram.

The JUMBY BAY Hawksbill Project. Stories from the beach . and beyond! Thursday, 26 May 2011. Artificial light from afar. Even on an isolated island with very little artificial light, a nesting beach can still be affected by light pollution, as seen in the above photo (photo by K. Levasseur). Light from mainland Antigua is approximately 2km away, glowing behind the beach. Links to this post. Wednesday, 11 May 2011. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The JUMBY BAY Hawksbill Project. Stories from the beach . and beyond! Saturday, 24 September 2011. Another Tropical Storm out at sea. Ophelia. With the very first predictions showing she was coming towards Antigua we waited expectantly to see her path. She is tracking well north of us. Nothing to see, nothing to worry about. Satellite image and projected path of Ophelia. www.meteo.gp. Maybe a bit of storm surge? Listening to the (French) news this morning (Friday), I caught the weather forecast. Team lea...

The JUMBY BAY Hawksbill Project. Stories from the beach . and beyond! Saturday, 1 January 2011. A very Happy New Year to you all from the longest, continuously running hawksbill turtle research project in the world! We are entering the year of the 25th anniversary of hawksbill saturation tagging on Jumby Bay. We have come a long way, lets hope the next 25 years teach us a lot more. For the near future, the research may focus on genetics, stable isotopes and satellite tracking! Links to this post.

The JUMBY BAY Hawksbill Project. Stories from the beach . and beyond! Wednesday, 27 October 2010. 3 weeks to go! Nest hatches on the other hand are starting to peak at 2 to 3 hatches a night. Even so, we miss most of them as it can take just 5 minutes for over 100 hatchlings to make it to the sea. We are left with only their tiny tracks printed along the sand as evidence. That's a lot of hatchlings for a 600 meter beach! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Jumby Bay Hawksbill Project.
