Tuesday Night:
We had a call about a hatchling in the marsh in Southport! Thanks to the Turtle Ambassadors who helped us retrieve it! The area was surveyed and no additional hatchlings or nest areas were found. We did have some false crawls not too far away that were surveyed by our patrol team from The Landing last night and this morning. Nothing was found. We have a mystery!
