The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission is seeking public comments on its Sea Turtle Conservation Plan through May 24. The plan will guide the agency’s efforts to maintain and increase populations of five species of sea turtles that nest on North Carolina beaches, primarily from May to August, and are declining in the state. All five species are federally and state listed as either endangered or threatened and need additional assistance to persist and thrive.
