Where’s Krysta?
As of Sunday, Oct. 18, Krysta, a female loggerhead sea turtle, had traveled 785 miles since she was satellite-tagged and released on June 29 after nesting on Coquina Beach.
Krysta is participating in the Sea Turtle Conservancy's 2026 Tour de Turtles race, which began Aug. 1. She has traveled 364 miles since the race officially began and is currently in 10th place for miles traveled in a field of 11 tracked sea turtles.
Krysta is symbolically swimming to raise awareness about the threat of beach erosion. Her participation in the 2026 Tour de Turtles is sponsored by Hurricane Hanks. The Tour de Turtles ends on Oct. 31.
