Seabrook Island: Loggerhead Turtle update
The 2009 turtle hatching season on Seabrook Island is coming to a close. An inventory of Nest #35 on September 6, 2009 was not a let-down for the crowd that had gathered to witness the "checking of the nest." Two hatchlings were found alive and were carefully escorted to the wide open ocean.
To read more on this loggerhead turtle nesting season, visit Seabrook Island Turtle Patrol's website.
Visit Turtle Tracks to learn about loggerhead turtles on neighboring Kiawah Island.
Learn more about Fripp Island's Turtle Nest Protection Program and the 27 nests they found this year by visiting the Turtle Nest webpage.
Additional information about loggerhead turtles along the South Carolina coast can be found here. Patti Romano, author of the article, is also a big part of Planet Bonehead, an educational environmental tv show for kids.

South Carolina Wildlife
I found a great wildlife website recently. The Kiawah Island Nature Program posts frequently with wildlife sightings from around the island.
Check out the "Wildlife: As We See It" site to see what creatures the naturalists have observed recently. You'll learn a lot about the wildlife that can be found on Kiawah and Seabrook Islands.

Kiawah Island Marathon
On your mark...get set...GO!
If you haven't started your marathon (or half marathon) training, it's time to kick it into high gear. The Kiawah Island Marathon is just around the corner.
The 32nd Annual Kiawah Island Marathon will be held December 12th, 2009. While "open" registration for both the half and full marathons is closed, you can still enter the race by purchasing accommodation/race packages through the Kiawah Island Resort.
The Kiawah Island Marathon begins at the East Beach Conference Center, runs out to the famous Ocean Course Golf Course, back to the conference center and repeats (the full marathon is a double loop design). The course is scenic, flat, and fast. Just what runners appreciate! The KI Marathon is a Boston Marathon qualifier.
If running is not your sport, consider being a race cheerleader! Spectators are allowed along certain parts of the course (be sure and confirm which sections are available for spectators). Having run two marathons, I can honestly say there is nothing more revitalizing as hearing claps and cheers. Spectator support helps a runner stay focused on the finish line (especially around mile 21!).
And, remember, if you missed the entrance deadline for this year, there's always next year! Marathon information usually comes out in early August of each year.
