The table in the file shows the statewide nesting totals from 1979–2008 for each species. Please note that those totals cannot be used to determine trends; survey effort (including the number of kilometers of nesting beach surveyed) changed significantly over this time period. For nesting trend data from 1989–2007, see the article, "Florida's Sea Turtle Nesting Trend Data (Index Nesting Beach Data, 1989–2007)," located under Sea Turtle Nesting.
