Lots of activity on the beach

Hurricane Erin is causing high waves and most of our nests have been washed over by both sand and water. Teams last night dug up to 12" of sand off the top of nests.
But it was worth it, one of these over washed nests boiled later in the evening. So you just never know!
Right now, we still have 16 unhatched nests on the beach. Turtle nests can handle some over washing, but we don't want water setting on the nests. Teams will be on the beach in the evening checking nests.
Thanks to all the vacationers on the beach who have called about water on nests and who have rescued floating equipment.
When tides get back to normal we'll need to go out and evaluate.
