LOGGERHEAD TURTLE PROJECT

Along the South Carolina coast the residents are requested

to turn off any coastal lights from May to October.

This action will help the threatened Logger Head

turtle navigate to it's nesting areas and hopefully

increase both the production and survival rate

for this species.

On two mornings we joined a group of volunteers that

walk the local beach in the early morning (5am) to

survey the success of this project. With a wake up

call from Randy, we were on the road.

The search is on.First order of the day was to upright a large horse shoe

crab that was over turned on the beach. It was rewarding to see it safely on its way.
These are the tracks of a Loggerhead turtle.
When located the site is secured and recorded by the

Park Rangers.
At sunrise the mission is accomplished.
A GREAT START TO A FEEL GOOD DAY
