Nest #5 Tuesday, June 24
Two lonely and soaked walkers, Steve Huggins and Dave Way,
braved the deluge and now we have another nest!!
High in the dunes near marker #6, this turtle laid a beautiful nest!!
Thank you, Steve and Dave!!
Nest #4, June 23, 2014
Just a few feet above Marker 4, the Monday walkers found a beautiful crawl - straight in and straight out with a nest site up on the dunes. Lovely to see this after so many false crawls this season. Perhaps the season is just getting off to a late start and now things will be picking up. Anyone with photos, please post here.

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.
