Yesterday, we celebrated our incredible Volunteer Boat Captains and the wonderful staff at Landings Harbor Marina and Delegal Creek Marina with an appreciation picnic filled with great conversation and friendly faces!

We could not do what we do on Wassaw NWR without your dedicated service. Thank you for safely transporting our staff, volunteers, research supplies, and groceries each week. You are an essential part of our sea turtle conservation family, and we appreciate you more than you know! 🚤🤩🐢

STAFF SPOTLIGHT: Meet Jadyn! 🐢💙

If you’ve spent any time on Wassaw, chances are you know Jadyn — 11 YEARS with Caretta and an absolute CRP staple!

Our Biologist Lead by night and UNC PhD candidate by day, Jadyn is a turtle parody songwriter, certified data-check enthusiast, turtle dance creator, mulefie photographer, and firm believer that YOU. DON’T. NEED. A. BALLOON. 🎈😂

She runs on Pocket Pizzas, good data, and more than a decade of sea turtle experience. Whether she’s leading a crew down the beach, keeping our data in check, conducting research, teaching us the turtle dance, or making us laugh at 3 a.m., we are incredibly lucky to have her on the CRP team.

We’re especially excited to see the results of her PhD research and all that her years of work with these incredible turtles will continue to teach us! 🐢🔬📊

Here’s to 11 years of turtles, long nights, turtle songs, mulefies, and countless Wassaw memories. We love you, Jadyn! 💙

Leave some love for Jadyn in the Comments!
