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.

Interesting Morning

Though we did not see any action with the two remaining nests, it was a wonderful morning and way to start the day!!

Wood Storks in the marsh

Calm seas

Florida Horse Conch

These can grow to 18 inches.

Is the Florida state shell

Angel Wing.

Pelicans flying into the sunrise

Such beauty. Hard to believe that in other parts of the east coast the waters are raging from Hurricanes' Jose and Maria.
