The crab hole pictured below was fresh so I was working on right side of it, I could not find nest. When Paulette got there she started working to left of crab hole and found nest quickly. Very deep nest with only 22 eggs plus 4 tiny spacer eggs !
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.
