GBIFID: 2813900392; Occurrence Remarks: Following a nest hatching, they dig out the eggs. Stragglers are helped to the water, and if they are not healthy, they are taken to the Sea Turtle hospital for assistance. According to one of the workers I interviewed, a turtle will lay approximately 80 to 100 eggs. The survival rate of the hatchlings is 1%. That is why they are constantly monitoring the nests and helping to ensure that the baby turtles reach the water and do not become seagull food.;; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 29822.00000.

GBIFID: 2350450147; Occurrence Remarks: Loggerhead Sea Turtle tracks on Matagorda Peninsula. Tracks 36 wide. Found while on Kemps Ridley patrol. Turtle made a false crawl. It came in during the late evening or early morning hours of 7/12. One vehicle had crossed tracks and it had come through just before 6am. This area has a high percentage of shell and at least one other false crawl was made this season in this area. 3 loggerhead nests were found and excavated on Matagorda peninsula during the 2016 nesting season. 21 miles of beach at Matagorda are patrolled by volunteers out of the San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge along with several other beaches. The primary search is for nesting Kemps Ridleys. This picture shows the crawl she made going inland on the right and then looping and returning on the left. No evidence of nesting was found. One photo shows her tracks coming ashore on the left and returning to the Gulf on the right. One photo shows the same from the Gulf side showing the shell berm she had to crawl to try and reach a nesting area. The other shows her tracks in detail with width, pattern and depth of the tracks which are critical to identification. Note also the wide heavy drag of the plastron down the center of her tracks key to loggerhead id. All volunteers go through identification training but only certified individuals are allowed to excavate the nest sites. Eggs are sent to Padre Island hatchery.

Occurrence Remarks: During the Summer of 2018 this Loggerhead Turtle swam up to a boat that was 5 miles offshore. She seemed to be in distress so the captain and company decided to gently drag her to shore (Ft. Morgan, AL) where myself and my crew were doing beach service. We helped the captain hold her and called the Gulfarium CARE Center in Pensacola, FL to come pick her up to assess her issues. It turned out, the 155 pound female Loggerhead Turtle had severe gastrointestinal issues that kept her from diving into deeper water. The Gulfarium CARE center named her Ursula and she is still in the great hands of the Gulfarium today (Sept. 2020).

GBIFID: 4950555065; Occurrence Remarks: Phylum: Chordata Class: Reptilia Order: Testudines Pictured above is a juvenile sea turtle who had just hatched. The loggerhead is the worlds largestr hard shelled turtle: the typical adult loggerhead sea turtle will grow to a carapace (shell) size of 35 inches, and around 300 pounds. The skin is yellow/brown, and the shell is reddish/brown. As adults, their sex can be determined by tail and plastron (lower shell) size - males have larger tails and shorter plastrons. Fun fact: Though the critical thermal maximum of the loggerhead is unknown, the ambient water temperature closely effects their metabolism. If too cold, they become lethargic and their metabolism slows, and if too hot their metabolism and heart rate speed up.;; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 28790.00000.

GBIFID: 4950142968; Occurrence Remarks: Phylum: Chordata Class: Reptilia Order: Testudines Key morphological traits: They have large heads with powerful jaws, which they use to crush the shells of their prey.
