- Team 3 is THRILLED with these results as this nest was in the overwash zone. They worked hard to keep the water off the top of the nest, but it did come around both sides. We aren’t sure when those turtles emerged, it could have been during a rain storm at the time of high tides, possibly even before the tides threatened. Great work, Team 3!
