2011 SEASON Starts with a Loggerhead Stranding
The 2011 Season started early for the NMB Sea Turtle Patrol. Around 6:30 this morning, a walker reported a dead stranded loggerhead turtle between 10th and 11th Ave N in North Myrtle Beach. This turtle appeared to be a juvenile, it's carapace measuring 27 1/2 inches from notch to notch and was about 1/3 covered with barnacles. The front flippers were covered with little white barnacles. No apparent cause of death was found, but the turtle appeared emaciated. (double click on pictures to enlarge)
