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.

June 27 brings back DeeDee, our turtle with the bad rear
flipper. Two false crawls today at marker 6.
These were well defined crawls, but no nest
was found.
Thank you, Arlene for the pictures.
