Every sunrise, 90-year-old Margaret James walks along her local beach with one goal: to help baby sea turtles reach the ocean safely.
For the past 15 years, Margaret has volunteered with a local conservation group. Each morning during nesting season, she carefully scans the sand for hatchlings struggling to reach the water.
Armed with a flashlight and a gentle touch, she clears debris and guides tiny turtles past seagulls and other predators.
A tourist recently filmed Margaret helping a group of hatchlings at dawn. The clip went viral:
“At 90 years old, she’s still protecting the next generation.”
“A true everyday hero.”
Margaret says:
“It brings me joy to know I can still make a difference — no matter my age.”
The community now affectionately calls her “The Turtle Grandma.”
