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.

More Nesting Today

Nest #10 was found this morning just before Marker 4. Not too many photos were taken; everyone was busy taking care of the business of data collection and marking the nest. Nest was up on the dunes in a fine place and no problems finding the eggs either.

Thanks to Harry, Elaine and Jack for all their assistance this morning!
