Folly Beach Loggerhead Nest

This was the last nest of the season. There were 115 eggs pre-hatching, 20 didn't hatch. This is average for the amount of successfully hatched eggs. This year there were only 30-something nests layed on Folly. The usual amount of nests is around 50. The reasoning for the decline in the nests is because Folly Beach renourished the beaches due to the erosion problem.
