Saturday, March 23rd 2024 Nesting Season Starts May 1st

Yeah! The 2024 sea turtle nesting season starts in a little over five weeks.   The email and the Waties Island Sea Turtle Monitoring Program Volunteer Application have been sent out to our 2023 Volunteers and to those who had expressed an interest in joining.  Many thanks to those who have already submitted their paperwork. 

For those who are interested, you may want to take a look at the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) South Carolina Marine Turtle Conservation Program website - https://dnr.sc.gov/seaturtle/index.htm   Lots and lots of information can be found on their website, such as:

   - "Loggerheadlines" a yearly publication - listed under the "Publication" label
   - Another excellent place to check out is under the "Volunteer" label 
       https://dnr.sc.gov/seaturtle/volres  under the "Volunteer"label, is the Volunteer Resources                         information

Every nesting season volunteers are strongly encouraged each year to record their time which assists the SCDNR Marine Turtle Conservation Program with their funding.

Looking forward to seeing our volunteers soon!
