I heard on the radio this morning that Hurricane Ike eroded so many of the beaches and sand dunes on Bolivar Peninsula and Galveston Island that it's going to be really hard for Kemp's ridley sea turtles to find places to build nests for their eggs! 75 to 100 yards of beaches were erased from the coastline after the hurricane and much of the sand left is more like thick clay which will make it hard for patrols to find the nests, collect the eggs and send them to Padre for incubation. The worst news is this species of sea turtles are endangered! Luckily they are doing something about it...
I mean what would we do without this cute guy?...
