TYBEE ISLAND, Ga. (WTOC) - A few days into turtle nesting season and people on Tybee Island are preparing for when the island might see its first nest.
Sea Turtle Project Coordinator Tammy Smith says the island could have its first nest in the next week or so, because mid-May is typically when the nests start popping up.
Volunteers are making their rounds every morning checking for tracks. Last year, Smith said they had 23 nests and that every year they see an increase in the number of nests.
