Beachcombers Field Guide - Department Of Fisheries Western ...

Following winter storms you may
be lucky enough to help save a baby
loggerhead turtle that has been washed
ashore after travelling south in the Leeuwin
Current. After leaving its beach nest, the
sea turtle hatchling tries to avoid predators,
such as birds, foxes, large fi sh and sharks.
After making it this far, this endangered
species now needs your help, so please
place it in a bucket of seawater
and immediately contact the
Department of Environment
and Conservation.
