Go Baby Leatherbacks!!! ❤️

: The first leatherback nest in Escambia County in over 20 years hatched last night! 🎉

🌙 Approximately 60 leatherback hatchlings made their way to the Gulf late last night. The hatchlings were aided by a full moon and were able to make their way to the Gulf unassisted, which is a rare victory on our developed coastline. This is the only leatherback nest in northwest Florida this season and the first to successfully hatch since 2000. It proved to be a long wait for our Sea Turtle Volunteers, who have been keeping an eye on the nest over the entirety of its 78-day incubation. We cannot thank them enough for their patience and dedication to monitoring this nest.

Though sometimes seen offshore, leatherbacks are considered rare visitors to our beaches, preferring to nest along the southeastern coast of Florida. These tiny hatchlings have a long journey ahead of them, but the ones that survive to adulthood will grow to over six feet long and up to 1500 pounds, making them the largest living sea turtle.

👣This is just the beginning of our hatching season in Escambia County. Help every hatchling make to the Gulf safely by remembering and to when visiting our beaches.

Sad news from our friends at the Flora-Bama Lounge & Package. Sending praters for peace and comfort. ❤️

The Flora-Bama’s founding father, Joe Gilchrist, has gone home to be with his Creator. Joe was born on April 17, 1942 and went home on May 25, 2022 at the age of 80. Joe built a legacy and culture around treating others with kindness and respect, asking only for the same in return. Given the opportunity to take over the Flora-Bama by the Tampary family in 1978, Joe’s love for other human beings started, and he built a party and celebration of life that will go on forever. Joe was a philanthropist, a community leader, and an unwavering and untiring supporter of the U.S. Military and his country. He would be proud to remind everyone that Memorial Day is a time dedicated to remembering and honoring those that have fought and died for our country. Joe created the Frank Brown International Songwriters Festival which brought together artists of all kinds and funded musical programs for local youth. His love of songwriters and music would earn him the title “Patron Saint of Songwriters”. We love you Joe and thank you for making all of our lives better, and for the selfless way you lived your life.

Out of respect for the family and to give us time to plan what will surely be a special celebration of life, please give us time to put out further details at a later date.

The Flora-Bama and Gilchrist Family
