Waties Island Sea Turtles

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.

14th False Crawl in a Row

6/11/14 Wednesday, 14th false crawl in a row!

Wednesday's walkers coming back from east end

Dee Dee's Back!

Probed 5 separate possible sites,
hundreds of 'pokes', nothing!

Discussing the situation

The crew!

Whelk egg casings

Tiny Ghost Crab, he was about 1" wide and blended with the sand.

Not sure what kind of paw print this is, but had a 2 1/2 - 3 foot stride. Scary big paw!

We may not have found a nest today, but enjoyed the scenery on the North end.
