The sea turtle nesting season is winding down and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission is reporting it's a record year. So far, there have been 1,636 nests counted along 330 miles of ocean facing sandy beaches in our state. That number is up from last year's count of 1,300 nests and it's a significant jump from 2014 where 565 nests were reported.
This week, Mac McKee speaks with sea turtle biologist with the NC Sea Turtle Project Matthew Godfrey about how they collect their information and why there's been an increase in sea turtle nesting sites.
