here's a dude that's apparently a natural for stirring up some trouble.

The FWC is wants to know if anyone can identify the man photographed disturbing a sea turtle nest on August 13 on Casey Key, in Sarasota County. according to a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) news release.

When confronted by the photographer about his actions, the unidentified man claimed he was collecting turtle eggs to be released later when they hatched, the release stated.

According to the FWC officials, there is no program permitted for this type of activity.

Destroying a sea turtle nest or eggs is a third-degree felony punishable by a $5,000 fine and five years in the slammer.

Anyone having information about the individual in the photo is urged to call the Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-3922, anytime, day or night.
