Sea Turtle Rescue!
Found this little guy on the Village at Nags Head Golf Course on Sunday following Hurricane Irene.
We took him home and called N.E.S.T. to find out what we should do...for this baby we needed to put him in a bucket on wet sand and keep a towel over the top (they do not like a lot of light) to transport him to the NEST volunteers.
We nicknamed him Titleist (yes as in the golf ball). We found him in the clumps of seaweed that washed up on one of the fairways.
He is a baby Green Sea Turtle that probably hatched last weekend from one of the 3 nests located right here in Kill Devil Hills!
At 9:00PM with the help of N.E.S.T. and the Roanoke Island Aquarium we released Titliest and 3 others into the ocean so they can make their swim to the Gulf Stream.
If you find a Sea Turtle or a nest on the Outer Banks please contact The NEST Hotline at 252.441.8622
