South Carolina had two nests reported as of yesterday with many more to come soon!
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.

Turtle on Waties!!
Well, maybe it's not a SEA turtle, but it is a turtle: a diamondback terrapin! They are sometimes found in the marsh behind the island but this one was found out on the beach. It was still alive too. Thank you Flossie for sharing your photo.
