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.

Wednesday, May 13 - Beautiful cool morning, no wind, no bugs, no nests

We miss walking with our teams, no real action this morning, but here's some pictures for you to help with Waties Island separation. Not a lot of trash, but we did find a number of nice shells we normally do not see - Lettered Olives, Augers, Sharon found an interesting boat throttle (I think), she just needs to find the rest of the boat.
