Geocache Description:

This cache is a medium Rubbermaid container with a red top. It was created as part of a Daisy Girl Scout project to preserve a local natural resource. The goal of this cache is to educate visitors to the North Myrtle Beach area of how they can help protect sea turtles when they go to the beach. BYOP.

Congrats to nellvixen for FTF.

Welcome to North Myrtle Beach!

My name is Jordan and I live in the NMB area. I made this cache as part of my project for my Daisy Girl Scout “Between the Earth and Sky” Journey. I am trying to preserve a natural treasure, and one of our natural treasures in NMB is sea turtles.

Every summer, loggerhead sea turtles come to our beaches to lay their eggs. So it’s important for everyone to do their parts to make the beaches safe for the mommy turtles and their babies to complete their own journeys.

Following these rules while you are here at the beach will help protect our sea turtles.

The Rules
• Fill in your holes before you leave the beach. Sea turtles can get stuck in them or make them turn back to the ocean before they lay their eggs.
• Take your beach chairs and toys home with you at the end of the day.
• Turn off flashlights at night on the beach. If you are staying in a house on the beach, turn off your outside lights and close your curtains. The light from houses and flashlights confuse baby turtles, and they won’t know where to go after they hatch.
• Pick up your garbage and throw it out. A sea turtle might mistake it for food and eat it, which can kill the turtle.
• Do not approach or touch an adult sea turtle or hatchlings.
• Please do not help a turtle is it is stuck somewhere on the beach. Call the Sea Turtle Patrol instead at 843-283-6670. Here is our local Sea Turtle Patrol: (visit link)
• If you see a sea turtle nest or tracks, call the Sea Turtle Patrol. They will want to make sure the nest is safe.

Protecting sea turtles is important because there are not a lot of them left in the world. But we can all make a difference by learning about them and doing our part.

Thank you and enjoy your stay in NMB!
