Three species of sea turtles nest on our beaches (www.seaturtle.org).

If you live on the beach, allow the natural vegetation line to remain along the high-water mark. Sea turtles use this as an indicator of where to dig their nests and lay their eggs. Turn off your outside lights during the hatching season (late summer). Seek more information from the Cayman Islands Department of Environment if you would like to help sea turtles that might be nesting on your beach.
