Inventory of Sullivan's Nest #8 September 7

Nest #8 was found on July 15 near Station 14 down by Fort Moultrie by Paula Brady and Neil Hunt. The eggs were moved out of this tidal zone to Station 18 ½ near the lighthouse. There were 99 eggs in this nest. It incubated for 51 days with tracks seen on September 4. Three days later there were 92 empty eggshells, six undeveloped eggs and no live or dead hatchlings left in the nest. There were many people who came hoping to see some turtles crawling to the ocean who were disappointed not to see any. This nest was very successful with 92.9% making it to the water on their own.
