Hi All - it has been quiet for me this past month, no early text messages, no early drives to Waties Island. I did kayak out to the island on Wednesday to see how the island fared from the last King Tide which was a remarkable 9 feet in our area. The lower/west end continues to erode and more trees are down. The path the bulldozer left from the fire earlier this year is completely blocked by downed trees. The wrack line was high most of the way up the beach. We only walked about half way up, and picked up a fair amount of trash which included a Garmin Fish Finder. The sailboat is visible again.
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.
