Page 6 The Shoreline August 2008 Turtle Time By Peggy Sagmiller The 2008 sea turtle nesting season on Bogue Banks has been a very slow and puzzling one. Our beach in Pine Knoll Shores has three Loggerhead Sea Turtle nests and four false crawls. The average number of nests here is five to nine, with as many as fifteen in an exceptional season. On the island, only Atlantic Beach is having a better than average season. There are usually very few nests in Atlantic Beach due to light pollution, but this season they already have four! Hopefully, nesting will pick up before the season ends September 1. Ryan Ollerman is one of our early morning beach walkers. He drives over from Beaufort to Pine Knoll Shores every morning, sometimes with his wife Sarah and always with his son Kaleb, to walk a section of our beach. This season he has taken it upon himself to give each of the Pine Knoll Shores regular beach walkers a gift certificate to Coffee Affair in Morehead City. He wanted everyone to know that their dedication is appreciated. Thank you so much, Ryan, for your dedication. You too are much appreciated! Lastly, I would like to welcome the new sea turtle coordinator for Indian Beach/ Salter Path, Tom Winar. If you live in either town and would like to be part of the Sea Turtle Protection Program, please give Tom a call at (252) 727-9026. Tip of the Month Keep the heat out.
