We have our first sea turtle nest on Tybee! Our amazing volunteers Doug and Ruth found the nest this morning. The nest was right next to the high tide line, so per DNR protocol, our permitted and trained volunteers carefully moved the nest to a safer location. Nesting season is officially on!

And we have nest #3, laid on World Turtle Day yesterday! Thank you to volunteers Jane and Allen for finding the nest. This mama laid the nest high up on the beach and was safe from high tides so it was left in place.
