As of July 15, the tally of nests being protected at our <strong>Cancun<\/strong> resorts stands at 410, with <strong>49,902 eggs<\/strong>.<br \/>\nThere are 230 nests in <strong>The Royal Caribbean<\/strong> corral, all tagged as <strong>green turtle nests<\/strong>, with the exception of two <strong>loggerheads<\/strong> and a lone <strong>hawksbill<\/strong> nest. At <strong>The Royal Sands<\/strong>, there are <strong>180 nests<\/strong>, all green turtles, with the exception of two <strong>hawksbill<\/strong> nests and a loggerhead nest. <strong>One nest has 171 eggs<\/strong>, way above the average!<\/p>\n<p><strong>The turtles<\/strong> seem to have been particularly active in the last few days. On July 11, <strong>34 turtles<\/strong> came ashore to lay their eggs, <strong>17 at The Royal Sands<\/strong> and <strong>17 in front of The Royal Mayan<\/strong>, <strong>The Royal Caribbean<\/strong> and <strong>The Royal Islander<\/strong>. On July 14, <strong>12 more turtles<\/strong> emerged from the sea on the beach in front of the three resorts.<\/p>\n<p>Please remember that if you see an adult turtle come ashore at night, you must <strong>follow the turtle rules<\/strong>. Notify resort security personnel immediately. Keep quiet and watch from a distance as the turtle digs her nest and starts laying her eggs. Do not attempt to touch her or disturb her in any way and please do not take photos using flash.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The first babies<\/strong> of the season usually make their appearance at the end of July and of course we will let you know when this happens.<\/p>\n<p>We hope that our turtle summer will be even more remarkable than last year\u2019s record-breaking season.\u00a0 Looking back at the statistics for July 10, 2012, there were <strong>75 nests<\/strong> at <strong>The Royal Sands<\/strong> and <strong>101<\/strong> at <strong>The Royal Caribbean<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in the Mexican Caribbean, we are happy to report that the first 70 baby turtles of the season in Puerto Morelos were released late last week. Isla Mujeres is also reporting that the number of nests registered on island beaches to date has doubled this year.<\/p>\n<p>Additional updates will be published during the summer on this blog and <a title=\"The Official Royal Resorts Facebook Page\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/royalresort\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Official Royal Resorts Facebook page.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[99],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52339","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3.1 -
