Found Sea Turtle Nest #1 walking on the 12.5 mile Beach of Emerald Isle North Carolina this morning.  The town is currently reporting 3 nests very protected not much local information is shared about these nests locations or dates on hatching.  May 1st though Oct 30th is Nesting and Hatching season.      Over 80 Volunteers monitor these nests somewhere between 50 and 70 days incubation they begin nightly vigils from dusk to after midnight to assist and guide these turtles if they hatch.
