So Long Summer - September 2020
One of the millions of baby sea turtles hatching along Palm Beach County shorelines this summer.
It seems like 2020 is one of those years that everyone just can’t wait to leave behind. Like many small businesses that rely on travel and tourism, AAT has taken our share of COVID hits. We’re fortunate to have been able to stay afloat and are looking forward to better days - hopefully soon!
Despite COVID, many of our furry, feathered, fluked and flippered friends have had a pretty good year! Since so many folks have had to postpone their travel plans, I thought it’d be fun to take a quick look back at some wildlife + nature pics from this summer and remind ourselves that it’s not all doom and gloom out there - enjoy!
2020’s been another fantastic year for sea turtle spotting + nesting in The Palm Beaches!
Lots of turtle couples were spotted floating just offshore of Juno Beach.
Nearly 20,000 turtle nests so far this year will hopefully yield millions of little hatchlings!
Summer usually means lots of smooth sunrises like this one on Lake Worth Lagoon.
Palm Beach County’s restoration efforts are creating new shorebird habitats throughout Lake Worth Lagoon.

We welcome all onboard - even this pair of ruddy turnstones that decided to ride along with us for a few miles offshore of Palm Beach.

Hoping you and your family had a good summer + can join us onboard this fall!
