Sorry, to date we have no sea turtle false crawls or nests so far. Hoping for some action this coming week. Cross your fingers and toes for us!
Due to the storm earlier this week and the high winds this week the sargassum seaweed is on the beach along with - Portuguese Man of Wars https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_man_o%27_war
- smaller By-the-Wind Sailor also known as Blue Sails - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velella
- some North Carolina beaches reported sightings of Blue Buttons washing up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porpita_porpita
Hoping for the best and some sea turtle action in the coming week.
All sea turtle monitoring by Waties Island Sea Turtle Patrol is permitted and authorized by the SCDNR Marine Turtle Conservation Program under Marin Turtle Permit MT500.
