JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga. — New dashboards online released by the Jekyll Island Authority provides real-time turtle activity on and near the Coastal Georgia barrier island.
One of the maps displays locations where diamondback terrapins have been spotted along the 6-mile-ling Jekyll Island Causeway. It states whether the turtle was found alive, dead, or injured. It also provides daily terrapin counts and historical data.
A second map tracks sea turtle nesting activity along Jekyll Island’s beaches showing approximate locations. Exact locations are not used to protect against poaching.
