Seems like they would just be fodder for predators

Go, lil dudes, go! Freedom swim FTW! Just hoping they dodge them hungry seagulls lurking around.

I like this. Baby sea turtles already have an extremely difficult time making it to the water without being picked off by predators, as well as very, very few surviving to adulthood beyond then.
I’m glad they got to have a little bit of a head start, even if only a couple could make it in the end.

Very few sea turtle hatchlings survive to adulthood; estimates suggest that only one in approximately 1,000 hatchlings reaches sexual maturity, which can take between 17 and 30 years. Most hatchlings fall victim to predators or fail to reach the ocean, but human impacts such as plastic waste and bycatch in fishing also contribute significantly to these high losses.

The turtles when the wave suddenly hits them for the first time:
Why not feed them and make them slightly stronger? I mean its not proper way but while we are fucking up with nature might as well give them better chance

I saw one of those live.
We were rather far away from the coast but all turtles in bucket were trying to climb over eachother to reach the ocean.
They couldn’t see the ocean over the bucket, but maybe smelled or heard it. They were all trying to climb the bucket in same direction, ocean.

I hate to be that guy but that’s the wrong way to do this. It’s actually important for their initial muscle development for the htchlings to first crawl along the beach to the water. Ideally you want them to start pretty far up the beach and you walk along side them to ward off predators.

this is very emotional scene for me. I wish luck and healthy life for all of them 😍

THIS is what proper population boosting looks like. You don’t raise the animal in captivity, you hatch it in captivity and release it to the wild as quickly as possible, preferably in a location without immediate predators to maximize the chances of the hatchlings.

Cute, but illegal as fuck in Florida. She can go to jail for that. I volunteered to be a helper one year. You are allowed to scare the birds off as best you can, without hurting the birds of course, but in no way are you to touch the eggs or the baby turtles. They have to be allowed to make their way to the ocean on their own.
