Baby Loggerhead sea turtle heads to open water.
Only about 1 in 1000 make it to maturity. Sea turtle nests are subject to attack from Crabs, Raccoons etc. The babies must make it past birds of prey and various gulls.
They then must fight the waves. Once in the ocean they have to swim 20 to 25 miles to the weedline at the edge of the gulfstream . Here they hide from large fish and birds and try to grow up.
