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.

Thursday, August 9th
A beautiful day to walk in paradise! Not much to report.
Nest 4 had two small crab holes and three buried traps...under about 6 inches of sand. Kinsey, Sheri, and Elaine found them all. One of them had a very frisky crab under all that sand in the trap!
Number 5 which is due to boil soon showed no activity.
Number 14 had a trap buried under about 10 inches of sand. Found, emptied and replaced.
Lots of beauty though....
