Sea Turtles

Sea Turtles have always been important in my life.  Ever since I was little I have seen them nest on the South Carolina coast and I even got the opportunity to mark a nest.  Because of my love for the creature, I am interested in learning more about them.  I know there are a few different species of turtles that live off the south eastern coast, but I also know that the most common is the Loggerhead Sea Turtle.

Sea Turtles are some of the most gentle creatures in the sea, and eat the Jelly Fish, and because the Sea Turtles are becoming extinct, the jellyfish population is growing uncontrollably.  The massive increase in the jellyfish population is becoming dangerous for people swimming in the ocean.

My Favorite Place


Murrells Inlet, South Carolina is my favorite place in the world for many reasons.  I grew up knowing only private beaches and quiet moments.  It is also the reason that I have an distinct interest in the environment.  Murrells Inlet has been untouched by modern civilization.  There are no sky high hotels or any condos.  This is my happy place because it is the only place in the world that I can totally relax.
