The 2025 sea turtle nesting season is well underway and the DoE teams have so far confirmed more than 20 loggerhead turtle nests across the 3 islands. Turtle nesting season runs from 1 May – 30 November. Help us protect these magnificent creatures by doing the following: • Keep lights off at beachside properties unless you have turtle-friendly lighting installed. Nesting and hatchling turtles are disoriented by artificial light and it can lead them into dangerous situations. • Keep beaches clean and clear by picking up litter and moving beach furniture at night so that turtles have plenty of space to find their nesting sites. • Never rake or cover turtle tracks. • No bonfires on the beach without a permit! Bonfires in the vicinity of nests can cause egg and hatchling mortality. • Consult with DoE before bringing vehicles or equipment onto the beach. Eggs under the sand may be crushed if driven over. • Never approach or disturb nesting or mating turtles. Human presence can cause them to abandon nesting/mating attempts. • Report turtle tracks or a turtle in distress to our 24hr Turtle Hotline (938-NEST/938-6378) using WhatsApp with a photograph and location description or pin drop. Turtles and nests are protected at all times under the National Conservation Act (2013) and it is an offence to disturb or harm them. Report any suspicious activity to 916-4271 or call 911.

Please be advised that the harvesting of lobsters is prohibited during the closed season from 1 March through 30 November each year under the National Conservation Law. This measure supports the sustainable management of our marine resources and ensures the long-term health of the species and our reefs. Members of the public are reminded that any person taking, purchasing, receiving, offering for sale or possessing lobster from Cayman waters during the closed season may face prosecution. For full regulations including open season dates, catch limits and size requirements, please refer to the Department of Environment’s official listings.
