CCU researchers study effect of artificial light on loggerhead turtle population
A Coastal Carolina University marine science professor and student are leading a study to determine how various levels of light affect the movement of hatchling sea turtles in the Myrtle Beach area. Eric Koepfler, professor of marine science, and Taylor Harris, a senior marine science major, are looking to finance the project through crowdsource funding, a first for a CCU science project.
