According to MSC Cruises, hundreds of tiny Loggerhead sea turtle hatchlings have been spotted making their way to the sea from the cruise line’s private island of Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve. The cruise line said that the sightings are a successful culmination of its project to return the island and its surrounding waters to its former state as a thriving environment for indigenous flora and fauna. More than six Loggerhead turtle nests have been identified so far and are being monitored. “We are all absolutely thrilled to see Loggerhead turtles come to Ocean Cay’s beaches to lay eggs so soon. This can take many years to happen with a newly restored ecosystem and we weren’t certain that they would come or when. We hope to see many more hatchlings in future nesting seasons and that these recent arrivals return to Ocean Cay when the time comes for them to nest,” said MSC Cruises’ Director of Sustainability, Linden Coppell.
