A final visit out to Waties Island was made today by the Waties Island lead volunteers (those on the SCDNR permit).
The group emptied all the trash cans and picked up trash off the beach including some of the larger items that we couldn't haul while walking.
Many thanks to Paulette, Bill, Nancy, Steve H., Flossie, Barb and Steve D. for their dedication to running the Waties Island sea turtle monitoring program!
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.
