Sheriff deputies in Pinellas County, Florida, have responded to countless calls from St. Pete Beach over the years, but a recent call from a local hotel security guard asking help rounding up some...
According to the post, the hotel’s security guard had already gathered about 15 of the tiny turtles before calling in for reinforcements. Once officers arrived, they continued to locate the confused turtles in the hotel pool, bushes, bathrooms and even in a storm drain.
That’s when one of the sergeants contacted the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for some expert advice about what to do with the animals. The wildlife experts told the officers to bring the turtles to the water’s edge and let them go to the ocean on their own. The short clip shared by the sheriff’s office comes from an officer’s body camera, and it’s guaranteed to make you smile. It shows the officers and other volunteers working to guide every single one of the babies into the water after their unscheduled trip inland., which monitors turtle activity in St. Pete Beach and Shell Key Preserve, hatched baby turtles use natural light to orient themselves and lead them to the ocean.
“If you looked at the front of the nest, not one turtle went to the ocean,” Reish told the local news outlet, blaming the issue on the abundance of artificial lighting used by the resorts along the area’s beaches at night.
