June 23, 2023 – #35, #36, #37!

We have another Hat Trick today and 2 false crawls!  One false crawl obeyed the ‘Stay Off the Dune’ sign! All nests were laid in safe locations AND within several feet from other nests. Morning Patrol had a great opportunity to share some information with beach visitors. **This conservation work for protected sea turtles on Caswell Beach Read More

June 17, 2023 – Nest #28

Well our popular area has been picked by a Mama again!  Nest #28 was laid safely on the dune line.  It is very interesting that no Mamas have chosen a very large area from the Bob Spake Walkway (800 CB Rd.) all the way to 611 CB Rd. which is 8 tenths of a mile!   Read More

June 16, 2023 – And we have #27!

It’s always nice to start morning patrol with a beautiful sunrise! Looks like the deer enjoyed the beach last night. Nest #27 was laid in a popular and safe area of our beach this season.   The tide has been high, but not high enough to reach any nests!
