SI-E Beach Clean Up and Turtle Nests
Teams from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the Fish and Wildlife Services, and the National Park Service cleared debris along the shoreline near the Beach House on Friday, May 8, 2026, to make the journey a little easier for mother turtles coming ashore to lay their eggs during nesting season now through October. NASA Kennedy is home to four nesting sea turtles: Loggerhead, Green, Leatherback, and occasionally the Kemp’s ridley turtles.
