A local couple and their daughter witnessed a miracle of nature last weekend when they were on South Ponte Vedra Beach during the hatching of a Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle nest.

In Amelia Island in Nassau County, News4JAX viewer, Claire Pulignano, sent us some pretty cute images and videos of sea turtle hatchlings crawling toward the ocean.

A TikTok challenge encouraging people to dig massive holes on beaches can be dangerous to sea turtles, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

So far, just in the area of Naval Station Mayport, 21 Loggerhead nests have been spotted.
