A loggerhead sea turtle nest in Myrtle Beach got a new address over the weekend, and it could help more than 100 eggs hatch with less risk of disturbance.

WBTW reported that volunteers moved the nest and its eggs on Sunday from the 64th Avenue North area to a quieter stretch of shoreline.

Interpretive rangers from Myrtle Beach State Park coordinated the relocation with police.

The nest was moved so it would face less risk of disturbance and the turtles would have a better chance of hatching.

Nesting season runs from May to October. During that time, sea turtle nests on Southern beaches can be vulnerable to foot traffic, artificial light and obstacles left in the sand.

Officials reminded beachgoers to smooth over holes before leaving, remove chairs, tents and toys at the end of the day, keep beachside lights off or covered, and stay well back from marked nests.

Bright lights can disorient hatchlings. Deep holes can trap them. Abandoned chairs or toys can become barriers between the nest and the ocean.

Reducing nighttime light and clearing items from the beach can improve the odds for eggs and hatchlings.
