Bertha washes out Navarre Beach sea turtle nests

A promising sea turtle nesting season on Navarre Beach suffered significant losses after Tropical Storm Bertha.

According to Cinnamon Tyler, Navarre Beach had 17 loggerhead nests this season. That was until Tropical Storm Bertha came along.


An artificial reef honoring political activist Charlie Kirk was deployed off Okaloosa County earlier this month. Kirk was murdered last year during a debate event in Utah.

The 18-ton, 20-foot-tall concrete reef structure, which resembles a pyramid, sits beneath 80 feet of water and will serve as a reminder of some of the values Kirk stood for.
