The first sea turtle nest discovery of the breeding season has led to a rescue mission, and kicked off a campaign to protect an endangered species.
The nest, found recently on the NSW north coast, was too close to the water's edge and the eggs needed to be moved to save them from being inundated by waves and the tides.
Loggerhead turtles are endangered with very few nesting females in NSW, making every egg precious. Green turtles are listed as a vulnerable species.
