Waties Island, the northernmost barrier island in South Carolina is roughly 4.0 km in length. It is a private undeveloped barrier island at the border of North/South Carolina. All sea turtle monitoring by this group is authorized by the SCDNR Marine Turtle Conservation Program under Permit MTP500. We strive to help protect the sea turtle, and we are at it again this season! The site will be updated often during the nesting season - May 1st through October.

These photos were taken last night without a flash and only a small red light was shining on the hole. Hatchlings climbing out of the nest.
This little one is making its way out of the nest.
Out of the nest and heading for the ocean.
