Turtle nests at Golden Bay: Nature Trust

A turtle has nested at Golden Bay, Nature Trust Malta said.  The organisation is now appealing for volunteers willing to lend a hand to keep watch of the site and ensure the eggs are kept safe and away from curious crowds.  Anyone interested in helping can email kareng@onvol.net and CC info@naturetrustmalta.org, the organisation said in a Facebook post.  "We urge all who can give a few hours to let us know. The roster has to be compiled for the next 70 days," the post read.  Nature Trust had set up a similar volunteer-driven turtle watch roster in 2012 when a turtle had laid eggs at Ġnejna Bay. Those eggs never hatched, with environmental authorities subsequently concluding they had become water-logged due to the underlying blue clay. That nesting was the first recorded one in decades.
