View Resource Hatchling loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) entering the surf on a beach in South Carolina

Photo of a hatchling loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) entering the surf on a beach in South Carolina. After hatching, juvenile sea turtles are guided to the ocean by celestial light reflecting off the ocean.
