Exactly one year ago today Beth had the first nest on the North. This year it is Hobcaw that took the glory! Kathi A. was happy to report HOB01 is a natural nest just barely above the spring tide line. It is located south of #11mm. Congratulations to Kathi and thanks for putting us on the scoreboard!

On this date in 2020, SC had 103 nests….there are currently 62.
Both North and South Litchfield had nests yesterday. The turtles are definitely getting more active up our way as the ocean warms.
