Of the two crawls found, the first up by the jetty, was a false crawl.
Still have to take measurements and do the paper work though.
Those pesky tracks, fresh, on her crawl!
Second crawl, lower end, between marker 1 and 2, was more productive!
Steve, probing the wrack.
Found it!
Digging up to relocate, above high water line.
Placing the eggs back. In a safer place.
In the name of science.
One shell is sent out for DNA testing.
Great job, Carrie, Jim, Flossie, Mario, Bill, and of course, Barb and Steve.
What are you looking at?
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.
