10/2/23 @ 10:30 a.m. - Nassau County Emergency Management has notified the Board of County Commissioners of expected tidal flooding. Water levels along the Atlantic Coast and within the Intracoastal Waterway will be 2-3 feet above the normally dry ground late morning and during afternoon high tide cycles through Tuesday.

Also, the drive-on access at American Beach is temporarily closed due to the very high tides. Public Works staff will continue to monitor the situation and will re-open the access once it's safe.

Turtle Talk Tuesday: More About Genetic Testing

8/29/2023

0 Comments

 
8/29/23 @ 8:15 a.m. 

​It's turtle nesting season! From May 1st - October 31st each year, sea turtles visit Amelia Island beaches to nest, and it's up to all of us to make their visit as safe as possible! During this turtle nesting season, we are introducing "Turtle Talk Tuesday". Every Tuesday, we will provide you with facts about our local turtle population and what is being done to protect them.


Message from the Amelia Island Sea Turtle Watch

Under Marine Turtle Permit #088, the Amelia Island Sea Turtle Watch is instructed to collect one loggerhead egg from each nest for genetic research. Much can be learned about sea turtle nesting behavior and the number of nests individual turtles lay each nesting season. It was determined many years ago, that NE Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina loggerheads share the same nesting habitat and are members of a specific nesting family. The genetic history of the turtles identified below, give us an idea of how nesting locations vary among turtles in this family.  ​
