MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — Volunteers on Sunday relocated more than 100 loggerhead sea turtle eggs found along a section of shoreline in Myrtle Beach.
Crews worked the area of 64th Ave N. to safely move the eggs to a more secluded area, giving the next a more successful chance to hatch. Interpretive rangers from Myrtle Beach State Park coordinated with police.
Beachgoers are reminded to:
- Fill in holes in before leaving
- Remove chairs, tents and toys each evening
- Keep lights off or shielded near the beach
- Give marked nests plenty of space
