Friday, July 18. The marsh birds were extraordinary today. Numerous wood storks and
other waders. Thank you, Jingle.
We found a false crawl between Marker 1 and 2. This appears to be the same turtle that came on the beach yesterday - same track width of 33". She went high in the dunes and made several attempts to nest as she did the night before.
False crawl # 26.
Thank you, Arlene for the pictures.
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.
