REPORT: June 17, 2010 - Thursday - 5pm





OBSERVED: clean - wow!

COLLECTED: seaweed, sand


We went to the north end of the beach near where the catamarans are docked high up close to the dunes. It's often less visited and typically a little cleaner. Only small bits of plastic scattered here and there - which I have come to expect on this Delray Beach, so I tend to consider this "clean".

But the most pleasant surprise has been our first siting of a sea turtle nest. The yellow sign posted on the nest mound is an exciting and welcome sight. By August, this beach is sprinkled with the small yellow signs, and then the deep caves of emptied, hatched turtles - signs of life that go on between moons.

The water was again very clear with a light chop. Easy swimming for T. OCEAN. And an easy way to see the schools of fish darting up and down the shore like a silver curtain. Beautiful.

Your,
Little Mama Sea Keeper
