Love is in the Air
Love is in the air and it’s not limited to Valentines and Snowbirds. Now is the time for sea turtles, too. On February 1st, 2013 we caught up with Eddie Woerner on West Beach in Gulf Shores to observe work underway to resurface a seven-mile stretch of sand dedicated to promoting sea turtle nesting. A curious crowd looked on as an implement, developed and built in Orange Beach, was being pulled behind a large tractor in order to loosen sand to a 30 inch depth to encourage sea turtles to lay eggs in this protected area. Should you venture out for a walk on the beach in this area and sink to your knees, don’t be alarmed – it’s all for the turtles! Unified Recovery Group of Foley makes the sea turtle project possible in cooperation with “Eddie Boy” Woerner of Flipper’s Restaurant and Marina in Orange Beach.
