John so that oour little turtle friends can safely make it to swim free in the sea! FVINP Seat Turtle Program identifies and monitors the nests on St. Turtles can actually migrate 1000 miles in a year, but generally return to waters of their birth in order to lay their eggs. Sea turtles do not necessarily always inhabit the waters where they are born. John, which is super amazing! This doesn’t necessarily mean that these enormous turtles will stay local though. So, now we have a Leatherback nest on St. And, many, many moons ago, these majestic creatures used to nest at Trunk Bay in abundance. However, the Leatherback Turtles can reach up to four to six FEET in length and 600 to 1100 pounds! I have never spotted one of these incredible creatures in the sea but imagine I might come close to drowning with excitement if I did! 🙂 Leatherback Sea Turtle- VINP Website – Photo by Carrie Stengelįun little factoid for you…Did you know that Trunk Bay is actually named after the Leatherback Turtle? According to the VINP website, the Danes called them “trunk” turtles because they looked like a trunk floating on top of the water when they surfaced. Green Sea Turtles can be up to 40 inches in length and up to 500 pounds while the critically endangered Hawksbill Turtles can be spotted at up to 25 inches in length and 100-150 pounds, according to the VINP website.

Good Morning, Good Morning! I have some fantastic news to share with you today! Friends of Virgin Islands National Park (FVINP) announced yesterday via social media that the first sea turtle nest of the 2022 season was spotted this weekend.
