On the South Carolina coast, Hilton Head Island is a jewel that gets more glamorous during sea turtle season. This period falls between May and October when the beaches of the island are converted into breeding places for endangered sea turtles making it an outing not to be missed by environmentalists and families. It’s at Oceanside Properties where you can relax after spending the day watching turtles or sightseeing. There are reasons why you should make “Sea Turtle Season on Hilton Head Island” a must see.
Every year in Hilton Head Island, this species called Loggerhead brings sea turtles back to lay their eggs on its sandy beaches. This annual happening is very important in their life cycle. The turtles come out of water, dig nests inside sands and put them to bed in it before they return back to the ocean. After about 60 days, hatchlings crawl back perilously into the ocean.
Over time, Myrtle has become an icon on Hilton Head Island. Myrtle represents symbolic conservation efforts being spearheaded locally here with regard to sensitizing people about why they need to keep sea turtles safe from extinction through awareness raising campaigns through educational programs or community affairs addressing Myrtle aids in conservation advocacy as well as significance of nesting by these giant reptiles.
Various engaging talk series are presented by Sea Turtle Patrol Hilton Head Island throughout the season. These educative forums cover topics ranging from biology about these animals up to general aspects related with their protection measures that have been instituted over time. At times when you attend such talks about their presence feels even better considering what lies ahead.
There’s nothing like the experience of joining a guided turtle walk for viewing them in their natural settings. During sunrise or sunset, when most of the turtles are on the move, experienced guides accompany small parties along the shoreline. You could get a chance to watch nesting turtles, or witness hatchlings crawling into the ocean during these walks.
Volunteer with the Turtle Trackers for smooth, free and dim beaches. One can also attend a “Turtle Talk” session, which teaches about these large animals, visit Learning Stations for interactive educational opportunities, as well as be on the lookout for nests marked along the beach. This way you will help in protecting sea turtles and retaining Hilton Head Island’s charm.
You could also be among those who will go for the Adopt-a-Nest program that supports efforts of conserving sea turtles in general. By adopting a nest, your contribution will be vital in ensuring that there is proper care as well as monitoring of hatchlings belonging to these animals. Information regarding the survival rate of your nest and number of juveniles making it to the sea will be communicated to you.
Unfortunately, only one in a thousand sea turtles manages to reach the stage of development. This alarming statistic shows how important our efforts to safeguard these animals are. Below are some measures you can adopt to ensure the safety of the turtle moms and their babies:
Through simple actions like these, endangered species such as these can be saved from extinction.
