SC SEA TURTLE PATROLS: 2_0_172_1randall_hill_turtle02

Turtle volunteers Marianne Glaze, from left, Don Pease and Amanda Jenkins take an inventory of a hatched nest August 4, 2012 at Myrtle Beach State Park in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Inventories are taken three days after the nests hatch. The empty egg shells are categorized and the information is sent to researchers. On this day, three live turtles remained in the nest unable to get out on their own. They were released to enthusiastic cheers from those gathered to watch the process. Turtle volunteers walk the area's beaches along South Carolina's coast daily during the nesting season, looking for signs of turtle activity and keeping tabs on the progress of the endangered species of turtles that lay their eggs along the coast.
