2011-08-31 Hurricane Irene - Sea turtle nests are some of the casualties on the East Coast of America.
Halfway through
this year's turtle nesting season, survey and monitoring data reported so far show
that Irene claimed more than 100 nests along the Atlantic coast from Georgia through North Carolina. Especially hard hit it
appears are nests marked along the South
Carolina coast. A complete assessment won’t be done
until the nesting season concludes, which can be as late as the end of October. |
