June 8, 2014 Two more False Crawls
Two more crawls were discovered this morning, both just above the entrance and only a few yards east of yesterday's crawl. We marked the most recent one as FC #10. It appears that she came up once earlier in the evening, returned without nesting, but came up a second time close by. The tracks from the first crawl were a little wind blown while those of the second crawl were still sharp.
No photos taken today.
(As reported by Barb and Steve)
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.
