Energy matters!

Accelerometer data showed beach-nesting birds spent ~50% more energy near colonies than salina-nesting birds, likely due to human disturbance from recreational beach walkers.

 #CoastalConservation

Miniaturized GPS devices revealed: 
📍 Beach-nesting birds = smaller home ranges & shorter, more frequent foraging trips 
📍 Salina-nesting birds = longer foraging trips, larger ranges. 

Habitat choice shapes energy costs and movement patterns. 

#CoastalConservation

Beaches vs salinas: 

✅ Beach colonies had higher hatching success (63%) than salinas (53%). But private salinas offer refuge from human disturbance, showing the trade-off between habitat quality and safety.

The surprising Florida refuge where sea turtles love to nest The state is best known for its manatees and alligators, but one of the world's most important sea turtle refuges is quietly located just 90 minutes from the theme parks of Orlando.
