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.

July 14 More False Crawls from our SNT
The Sunday walkers found three false crawls made by our Special Needs Turtle. The crawls were between marker 4, 5, and 6. There was no attempt to nest. The sand was compacted due to yesterday's heavy rainfall.

This is her distinctive track
This shows how she just turned around and returned to the sea
