The first turtle nest of the season has hatched on Magnetic Island, with 45 baby Flatback sea turtles scrambling to the ocean earlier in January.
Magnetic Island Network for Turtles confirmed the first flatback sea turtle nest hatched on the beach of Nelly Bay and was a good outcome, with the nest found in a cooler shaded spot.
The Network reported an almost 100% hatchling success rate with volunteers using artificial light to lead the hatchlings safely to the water.
