Nags Head Donates All Terrain Vehicles to Network for Endangered Sea Turtles

NAGS HEAD, North Carolina – June 28, 2010 – The Town of Nags Head has donated two 2005 Honda all terrain vehicles (ATVs) from its Ocean Rescue Division to the Network for Endangered Sea Turtles (N.E.S.T).

N.E.S.T. is an all-volunteer non-profit organization that supports the continued and enhanced livelihood of sea turtles and their habitat on the Outer Banks.

Established in 1995, N.E.S.T. is also a state-permitted monitoring organization for sea turtle activity from the Virginia border to Oregon Inlet. N.E.S.T. volunteers will use the ATVs to patrol the beach in the early morning during the summer nesting season to monitor existing nests and locate signs of new activity.
