Turtles, Turtles, and more Turtles

Leatherback Sea Turtle | National Wildlife Federation

Brevard County, Florida is home to several species of turtles, both in the ocean and on land. Some of the most common species of turtles found in Brevard County include:

  1. Loggerhead sea turtles: These are the most common species of sea turtles in Brevard County, and they can be seen nesting on the beaches between May and August.
  2. Green sea turtles: These are another species of sea turtles that can be found in Brevard County. They are more commonly seen in the summer months and can sometimes be found feeding in the seagrass beds in the Indian River Lagoon.
  3. Leatherback sea turtles: These are the largest species of sea turtles and can sometimes be seen in the waters off Brevard County. They are less common than loggerheads and greens, however.
  4. Eastern box turtles: These are a species of land turtles that can be found in Brevard County. They are often seen in wooded areas and can be identified by their distinct yellow markings on their dark brown shells.
  5. Florida softshell turtles: These are another species of land turtles that can be found in Brevard County. They have a flat, leathery shell and can often be found in bodies of water like ponds and rivers.

It is important to remember that turtles, especially sea turtles, are protected by law, and it is illegal to harm or disturb them or their nests. If you encounter a turtle in Brevard County, it is best to observe them from a distance and avoid any actions that could harm them or their environment.
