Turtle Watchers Cap ‘Good For the last 22 years, Sea Turtle Cooperative members have worked to
conserve Georgia’s turtles. Coordinated by the Wildlife Resources

NOV 01, 2010 04:04P.M. volunteers, researchers and biologists from various agencies monitors
turtle nesting activities on Georgia beaches.
Turtle Watchers Cap ‘Good Year’ For Loggerheads
This season, Cumberland Island led all barrier islands with 486
confirmed nests.
“Both our nesting numbers and our hatchling success

numbers were really high this year,” said Doug Hoffman,
National Park Service biologist on Cumberland Island. “An
average year for us is around 225 nests and we doubled that
this season.”
In addition, Cumberland saw its predation rate drop from 67 percent in

2000 to less than 1 percent this year, a figure Hoffman is proud to
report. “I came on board in 2000 when predation was at the highest
levels it has ever been,” he said.
“… In the last 10 years we have taken measures that include

live trapping of raccoons, shooting hogs and placing screens
on every nest – all of which have reduced the predation rate
Turtle Watchers Cap ‘Good Year’ For Loggerheads to almost zero. The only thing we still have a problem with is
ghost crabs, but you see that on every island. “
Cumberland also accounted for about half of the strandings during the
nesting season, or 43 of 119 sea turtles found washed up along the coast.
This may be in part due to the length of the island’s coastline, which
stretches for 17 miles. Whenever a turtle washes ashore dead or comes to
the beach and then dies, it is referred to as a stranding.
On Tybee Island, the nesting storyline was a little different. Tybee

recorded some of the lowest numbers, with only 10 confirmed nests.
However, that number was still high for a developed beach.
Tammy Smith, Sea Turtle Project coordinator for the island, was very
excited that her group of volunteers not only beat local rival St Simons
Island, which reported only five nests, but also made strides toward
improving the habitat for turtles.
Georgia Department of Natural Resources “Lighting pollution is one of our biggest issues, being a
