Loggerhead Sea Turtle
Loggerhead Sea Turtles grow up to 3 feet and weigh 200 kgs, living 45 years on a diet of hard shelled urchins and crabs. Their name comes from the shape of their head and powerful jaws to crush their hard shelled food. The mid-point estimate for nesting females today is 51,500 Loggerheads, based on 200,000 clutches (nests) laid annually (ICUN data). Assuming each nest contains 100 eggs that’s 20 million eggs laid annually. Assuming 1 hatchling for every 1,000 survives to adult hood, that’s a population increase of 20,000 adults (including males) a year. It sounds encouraging except when you see that populations have dropped by 50% since the 1980s. Current statistics would suggest it’s unlikely Loggerheads will survive unless a lot more progress is made to help them.
