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.

Friday, May 8
The day started cool, sunrise over the marsh and view of the setting full moon. Little wind, no bugs.
This is what is left of the partial boat at the upper end.
We did not see the Bald Eagle this morning, but did get to see a feeding Snowy Egret.
Not as much wrack as previously seen, there were less Cannonball Jellyfish too.
Not a whole lot of trash, but did pick up several face masks, sunglasses, and goggles.
