The beach at Alexandra Battery in St. George’s is currently closed to public use as a turtle nest was discovered yesterday on the beach, and 15 hatchlings have been found.
A spokesperson said, “The Department of Parks wishes to inform the public that the beach at Alexandra Battery, located in St. George’s, is currently closed to public use as a turtle nest was discovered yesterday in the middle of the beach. The beach will be closed until at least Wednesday 19th August 2015.”
“Staff from the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo are currently stationed at the beach to monitor the hatchlings and, along with Parks rangers, will advise anyone who visits the site of the closure.
“Maintenance staff from the Department of Parks have been instructed not to rake the beach until receiving clearance from the Department of Conservation Services.
“The public will be informed when the beach is reopened for use. In total 15 hatchlings have been found – 12 of which have been released to sea.”
Update: The Ministry added that, “Belco also assisted yesterday by turning off a street light which was causing an issue with the hatchlings navigating to the water. Belco sent an emergency crew last evening to insure stray light was avoided. BAMZ would like to thank them for their support.”
