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.

6/18/14 Low tide - All is quiet on the turtle front!

Today we had a small skeleton crew of only three walkers. (Regena, Harry and Linnea) The tide was amazingly low and people were out early on the Cherry Grove side of Hog Inlet. It was a beautiful morning, but we did not see any sign of a crawl nor did we see the injured turtle that was seen on the other side of Hog Inlet yesterday. Keep an eye out for this one.
