Sea Turtle Inc.: Endangered turtle eggs are safe

SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, Texas (ValleyCentral) — Sea Turtle Inc. announced more than 8,000 hatchling eggs are safe after preparing to protect them from Hurricane Beryl.

On Friday, staff, volunteers and city officials fortified the corrals from high tides, potential flooding and other dangers that could affect the eggs.

They placed more than 20 feet of sand where the corral would've been jeopardized by flooding and high tides.

On Monday, Wendy Knight, Chief Executive Officer of Sea Turtle Inc., said the sea turtle eggs are safe, dry and resting in their appropriate place.

In a previous ValleyCentral article, Sea Turtle Inc. said the corral held 9,500 endangered sea turtle eggs. 

Additionally, Sea Turtle Inc. is placing all injured sea turtles, who need medical care, back to their temporary tent and hospital following an emergency evacuation.

Knight said, Sea Turtle Inc. will reopen on Tuesday during regular business hours.
