Researchers and conservation staff are working to preserve rare sand prairie habitats at this metro-east site.

New research from Florida State University published in Frontiers in Marine Science found that extreme concentrations of microplastics could increase the temperature of beach sand enough to threaten ...

Researchers conducted the first field study showing how endangered loggerhead sea turtle hatchlings use their limbs to move quickly on a variety of terrains in order to reach the ocean. Life can be ...

Many researchers have documented the lives of sea turtles. Videos like this one prove how lucky we are to witness the life cycle of this endangered species. A sea turtle’s fight for survival after ...

Just last week, we heard about a robotic baby sea turtle that can "swim" through the sand. It's not the only robo-turtle in town, though, as another one has been developed to possibly one day lead ...

Every summer, millions of baby sea turtles hatch and crawl toward the ocean, but common beach habits that most people never ...

Florida wildlife officials are urging July Fourth beachgoers to leave personal fireworks at home and watch professional shows ...

Microplastics have been found deep in the sand on beaches where sea turtles lay their eggs. University of Exeter scientists found an average of 5,300 particles of plastic per cubic metre at depths of ...

Sand chosen to rebuild Palm Beach County’s beaches undergoes an extensive physical exam, from assessing the size of the grains to checking color and texture, but what about taking its temperature? A ...

When baby sea turtles hatch from their buried eggs, they use their powerful flippers to make their way up through the sand. A new "sand-swimming" robot, inspired by those hatchlings, could one day ...

A new study of Florida beaches has found high amounts of microplastics, which could increase sand temperature and produce more female hatchlings. This Kemps ridley sea turtle makes its way to the Gulf ...
