Sea Turtles on the Outer Banks
Summer is sea turtle nesting and hatching season, so it's especially important that tourists know
how they can help!
The Outer Banks of North Carolina represents the northernmost limit of the loggerhead, green and leatherback sea turtle nesting ranges in the United States. The Outer Banks also occasionally is home to the rare Hawksbill and Kemp's Ridley sea turtles.
All sea turtles are protected by the federal Endangered Species Act. Avoid touching or interfering with turtle activity. Do not remove any dead turtle, turtle egg, or turtle part.
REPORT ALL NESTING TURTLES, TURTLE CRAWLS, stranded/dead turtles, OR HATCHING EVENTS on the Outer Banks to the NEST Hotline
252-441-8622
