Sea Turtle Watch 2007 Huntington Island, South Carolina

by

Every summer, loggerhead sea turtles visit beaches throughout South Carolina to nest. Hunting Island State Park is a great place to see adults nesting and hatchlings emerging from their nests. Loggerheads are a protected species, so this program offers participants a rare opportunity to encounter a sea turtle.

This program starts with a talk about the life history of sea turtles and the current status of our turtle season at Hunting Island State Park. Please be prepared to walk for an hour or more. Some nights we will spend more time at nests that are close to their incubation period, while others we will look for adults arriving on the beach. We may also conduct nest surveys at nests that recently hatched.
Meeting Place: One day before the program.
What to Bring: Insect repellent, water, shoes that can get sandy or wet.

Time: 9:00 – 10:00 pm
Fee: $10.00 per person
