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.

Nest #1 Inventory
Nest #1 didn't generate the greatest results with 31 unhatched eggs and 5 hatched with 1 live turtle found. However, it was quite exciting to watch the live turtle swim away! On the way back over the causeway, we saw a bunch of wood storks, too!
