Here are the top three stories in Savannah today:

1. A coyote is responsible for raiding five Tybee Island turtle nests. The coyote reportedly destroyed and ate through the nests. The Department of Natural Resources was able to confirm it was a coyote due to tracks and photos. The island currently has a record number of turtle nests this season with 35 nests. (WTOC)
2. Savannah residents celebrated Jamaican culture on Saturday. The 60th anniversary of Jamaican Independence was celebrated at the African American Cultural Center through food, music, and speakers. Unieros hosted the event to shed light on different Savannah cultures. The organization will reportedly be celebrating Ukrainian Independence in the future. (WTOC)
3. This week is World Breastfeeding Week. To celebrate, a booth was set up at the Forsyth Park Farmers' Market to distribute pamphlets on the benefits of breastfeeding. Participants also waved signs around Forsyth Park to spread breastfeeding awareness. Click to learn more about World Breastfeeding Week. (WSAV-TV)
