Waties Island Sea Turtle Monitors

Waties Island is a 2.7 mile private undeveloped barrier island at the border of North and South Carolina. Under a permit from SC Department of Natural Resources to help protect the sea turtle, we are at it again this season! The site will be updated often, so please feel free to bookmark us and visit us again to see what's new!

Thursday Visitors


















On Thursday morning, we had visitors from Epiphany Lutheran Church in Richmond, VA on turtle patrol. The kids discovered a "Ryan" crab (named after the discoverer yesterday) which turned out to be a stone crab minus the large front claws. They also had fun with the ghost crabs.



It was wonderful to have them visit and hope they'll come back again!
Inventory results from Nest #1 will be posted soon,
Barb and Steve
