Sea turtle season is underway, and we're excited to share this week's update! These incredible animals return to Hilton Head's shores each year, making our beaches one of South Carolina's most important nesting habitats. ๐๐
๐ Current Season Stats:
๐ฅ Number of Nests: ๐๐๐
๐ข Number of False Crawls: ๐๐๐
A false crawl occurs when a sea turtle comes ashore but returns to the ocean without nesting. Both nests and false crawls help conservation teams monitor turtle activity and better understand beach conditions throughout the season.
As proud partners of ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ฅ ๐๐๐, we're committed to supporting their mission to protect and preserve sea turtles and their nesting habitats for future generations. ๐ข๐
