Author: Briana Ray-Turner Updated: 11:24 PM EDT May 1, 2021 JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. — Sea turtle nesting season has finally arrived and Beaches Sea Turtle Patrol is starting to watch over three different species of sea turtles on the First Coast. “We look for tracks in the morning. We know what the tracks look like and the tracks lead us to the nest. We mark the nest. We monitor the nest throughout its nesting time period," said Kevin Brown, volunteer with Beaches Sea Turtle Patrol.
