Waties Island Sea Turtles

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.

Nest #14, Thursday, 7/26/18

Another nest found by the Thursday morning Walkers. Text Book crawl and body pit. Her crawl was 29 inches. Nest was layed on the short end of the island, again another one close to the dunes.

Along with the nest, Bill C took some wonderful pictures of Waties.
