Here is the most recent update for the Jekyll Island’s 2009 Sea Turtle Nesting Season:

We have reached the end of the 2009 sea turtle nesting season on Jekyll Island.  It’s been quite some time since we’ve seen a female, so we will be concluding our night patrol after this weekend.  But have no fear, you’ll still see us in the mornings on the beach conducting our dawn patrol and nest monitoring procedures!  Don’t forget to keep up the Turtle-Friendly habits as hatching season is just getting into full swing and can last through October!
Thanks to the 2009 Sea Turtle Patrol Interns and Volunteers who worked countless hours, at night and in the mornings, for the past 4 months to make this nesting/tagging season another great success!  I’ll share some overall results soon, so keep any eye on our BLOG and website!!!

Sincerely,
Stefanie Ouellette
