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.

Monday, June 8th

Today was uneventful in that there were no turtles crawls...false or real! It still was beautiful but very humid.

The nests all look fine. Nests # 3 & 4 may be tough when it comes to inventory time. The sand has blown up on them and they are in the grass. The King tide this PM was supposed to come up 5.2 '. When we were out there last week it was 4.8' It's going to be high!

The beauty...
