A single nest group of sea turtle eggs is called a "clutch." Female sea turtles typically lay multiple clutches during a nesting season, with each clutch containing anywhere from a few dozen to over a hundred eggs, depending on the species. After laying the eggs, the female covers the nest with sand and returns to the ocean, leaving the eggs to incubate until they hatch.
