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.

June 2nd - Pictures of Nest 1, 2R, and 3

This year pictures of the nests will periodically be taken to show the poles and the surrounding backgrounds, probably monthly. The pictures can be used to assist in the location of our nests in case of a bad storm or hurricane. When a hurricane approaches we have to remove our DNR signs and posts and use other means to mark our nests. These pictures may help us locate our nests, if needed.
