June 29, 2023 – Nest #43 & False Crawls

We have Nest #43 laid at a recent high tide line, in a very badly eroded area. We relocated 131 eggs on a nearby dune.

We also had 2 very hard to “read” False Crawls.  We called in reinforcements and the 5 of us couldn’t locate any eggs. 

Unfortunately, there were numerous holes and fort/moats left on the beach overnight.  There were also cabana structures and a boat .  We tagged those with notes asking them to please remove their belongings from the beach at night for the safety of our turtles.

FOR MEMBERS ONLY:  

OKI Police were called for 1 hole on the OKI end of the beach and CB Town Hall was called about a HUGE hole that required the tractor to fill in.  Brian with CB is AWESOME!
