"Share The Beach" Teams

There are 7 "Share The Beach" teams along the Alabama coast. To see them go here
http://www.alabamaseaturtles.com/blog/.
Moving west to east the first team *was* "Ft. Morgan". Fort Morgan has a longer stretch of beach that we, and is currently at 36 nests! WOW! The nest numbers are preceded by an "A".

Laguna Key nests are preceded by a "B". We have 11 nests to date 07/25/2011.

And so on, EXCEPT Dauphin Island signed on late and are out of alphabetical order, their nests are preceded by "J".
