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.

It was a beautiful day on Waties! A few beached jellyfish but not as many as we have seen at other times. A lovely breeze and the sound of the sea! Thank you, Barb and Steve for the shoveling. Thank you, Barb, Steve and Leslie for all the pre-season placement of the milemarkers and equipment. Every thing is ready for the turtles but there was no turtle today.

A hymn to the universe
