I just love how sea Turtles remember where they were born and willingly choose to have their babies in the same place. I just love how it seems like they have a concept of "home".

Nah. They are a succesful product of that area, it just makes sense nature directs them to lay eggs where a turtle survived to adulthood. If it works, dont fix it.

I've had the pleasure of seeing this 4 or five times. Leatherbacks lay eggs on the Florida coast. One time. The hatched turtles were confused as to which direction they should go and were headed toward the buildings. I used a flashlight to imitate the moonlight, as the moon was not out, and they turned around and headed into the water. About 60-80 of them.

Adult Turtle upon finding a plastic straw: I CANT BREATHE
As awful as humans usually are, it's heartwarming to see how we can protect these sea turtles babies and give them a better shot at life.
This is honestly the cutest thing I’ve watched 🥺❤️
Turtles get born and immediately get put into war 😂
God bless these beautiful turtles. It’s a wonderful sight to snorkel or scuba dive and see them gracefully swimming nearby.
This makes me to happy. They are all so beautiful.
They’re so freaking cute
I can understand wanting to document via film sea turtle hatchlings, but do NOT understand why you would be wearing a head light when the scientific literature makes clear that light (moon or sunlight) provides turtles with an orientation to get to the sea. In this video, with your headlight bearing down on them, they all seemed confused about which direction to go in to get to the sea. It seemed invasive to me.

A whole bunch of teeny turtles!
its amazing to see how turtles know that its ocean out there
Such precious things! I hope they continue to flourish into the future. It makes me happy to see people help them in this dangerous period of their life.
Turtles are brave since they're baby they travel alone without mama, it's kinda sad to me, but thats nature, we're so lucky to be a human and we're responsible what happening to our surroundings.
I came home from work today needing to see turtle hatchlings. I was reminded today of my father telling us siblings "we're off like a stampede of Turtles...look at 'em go!" Miss you dad!
Swim well, little turtles!!
I love the way they wattle to the beach so much I love bb turtles and turtles they just so stinking cute 😭

We should hire lifeguard on the beach to protect them back to ocean safely

I love to see other turtles specially because my sisters turtle died. It's sad because she was still a baby but I know she's in better place be now😢
We watched a video on this on “Nature”, I think it was . “Go,,, go , go” we said !! I wear a necklace every day that has a turtle charm!!
As we used to say when watching a show like this “Goooooooooo”!! They head for the beach. I have a little silver turtle on a chain, with an Eiffel Tower and a Teddy bear .
those turtles are adorable 😍
Gannets eat these baby turtles like a free "all you can eat" buffets...
Two comments... Moving the eggs to a protected nest allows more of the hatchlings to survive to reach the ocean. I participated in a volunteer trip which collected eggs to move to a protected hatchery. This meant that the nests were monitored to regulate the temperature so the eggs wouldn’t get too hot, helped to keep human poachers away, kept many animals, insects & crabs which like to feed on eggs & hatchlings away, and as the nests hatched, we guarded the hatchlings as they made their way to the sea. My other comment is that the guy narrating this piece appears to be wearing a headlamp with a white light. One should NEVER use a white light when the hatchlings are surfacing and trying to reach the ocean at night. Nor should anyone use a white light when tracking a female sea turtle as she makes her way to lay her eggs. The white light confuses the turtles into thinking it is the moon & they may head away from the ocean. If a light is absolutely necessary, it should be red.
