A mature female see turtle nests every two to four years, after mating at sea, she makes her way across the beach and digs a nest 16 to 20 inches deep, with her hind flippers.
She will leave 50 to 250 eggs (depending on the species) in the nest which she re-covers with sand, once she is done depositing her eggs, she will have up to 8 nests per mating season. She returns to the sea after nesting, leaving the eggs untended.
The hatchling sea turtles instinctively head to the ocean shortly after emerging from the nest.
