August in Charleston, SC – Nature at the Beach
It’s turtle time on the beaches. Folly has reported 36 Loggerhead nests and one Leatherback nest. Watchers are looking forward to this month’s hatching. There are a few things that we can do to make this more successful each year. Remove all of your belongings from the beach when you leave. Don’t leave large holes that could trap the turtles; they are only graceful in the water. Turning off exterior lights at the beach helps with turtle navigation. Also, please report sightings to local public safety officers so they can notify the turtle teams.
From turtles to eagles…the contest is over and after an extremely close count, Liberty is the name chosen for the rescued American Bald Eagle at the Aquarium. Second place went to Bert, named for Stephen Colbert, local comedian.
