Jessie Cahoon, a GIS Specialist with Maryland Environmental Service and fellow turtle lover has been working with the Caretta Research Project since 2003. She has produced this awesome map so you can see nesting activity on Wassaw Island between 1999-2010. Jessie is currently working updating through 2018! With this map, you can search activity by year, date, activity and by individual turtle.
