May 1st - start of our WISTMP Nesting Season

 The Thursday Volunteers with our new LOA, Melissa F started the day with a glorious morning.  No turtle activity but lots, and lots of trash, especially balloons.  They did discover some large items.  These items included a long board with siding material and a crab cage.

The amount of trash could be due to the recent King Tide this area experienced over the weekend. Melissa also reported a number of jellies on the beach.

They did observe raccoon tracks at the entrance to the beach. 

Good Luck to our volunteers - Leslie
