We guess the turtles decided to stay in the water because of the storms. Our volunteer teams braved the 18+ mph winds to monitor our nests and greet visitors. We only had 1 False Crawl and it was a LONG one!
There were a lot of raindrops on the nest tops and runways, but it appears we have not had an emergence yet. That’s probably a good thing with as rough as the ocean was last night! NC has not yet reported any emergences at this time.
