So far in 2014 we have had 12 nests laid, including a leatherback nest. Although leatherback turtles are frequently observed in Kenyan waters as part of their migration route, this is the first documented leatherback nesting in Watamu; possibly even Kenya! We have had 6 nests hatch this year, 1 of which was laid last year and from our data collection we can see 554 hatchlings emerged from the nests.
