Orange County biologists relocate sea turtle eggs to shield from storm waves

Wildlife officials relocated over 200 olive ridley sea turtle eggs from beaches in Orange County to the Aquarium of the Pacific due to hazardous surf and high tides forecasted for the weekend. These nests, the first known on the U.S. West Coast, were laid in Seal Beach and Huntington Beach, and will hatch in approximately 45 to 60 days. The turtles are listed as threatened, and their unexpected northern nesting site represents a significant deviation from their usual tropical habitats.
