Nest # 4 Inventory Saturday, September 12
The Saturday walkers were joined by student volunteers from CCU
to inventory Nest #4 which emerged on September 9 at day 54 of
incubation. Taylor Harris and the crew dug up the shells and sorted
and counted. 95 eggs were in the nest. One was used for research.
90 hatched and 4 unhatched eggs. One bright white egg was reburied.
Thanks for the pictures, Leslie

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.
