@miaelimarayarose.vdc: When hatchling turtles make their initial journey from the shore into the ocean, they rely on the Earth's magnetic field and the orientation of ocean waves as rudimentary navigational tools, helping them reach deeper waters that support their growth and survival? At this early stage, the magnetic field mainly serves as a directional cue to help them stay on course. As they mature, however, turtles develop a much more refined use of magnetic information. Older turtles can interpret the magnetic field like a map, allowing them to locate specific destinations. It’s almost as if they possess a magnetism-based GPS system. • https://www.nsf.gov/news/geomagnetic-landmarks-give-turtles-sense-where • https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/feature-story/what-can-you-do-save-sea-turtles • https://www.worldwildlife.org/species/sea-turtle • https://www.seaturtleweek.com/help • https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/temperature-dependent.html • If you see turtles on the beach, especially hatchlings, leave them be. There’s signs for a reason.
