Update from HB Turtle Patrol -

Holden Beach Turtle Patrol Says Goodbye to Pat and Alice Cusack

It is a bittersweet ending for the 2025 sea turtle season for the Holden Beach Turtle Patrol. This year they said goodbye to Pat and Alice Cusack, who have been icons for their Turtle Patrol for 2 decades. Alice joined the Turtle Patrol in 2006 and has completed 20 sea turtle seasons. In her many roles over the years, most notably Stranding and Assistant Coordinator, she mentored and trained over 100 members. Her leadership, kindness, dedication, and passion for sea turtles will be remembered. Pat joined the Turtle Patrol in 2007, and he completed 19 sea turtle seasons. He loved being an ATV Rider and was the ATV Coordinator for many years. He was on Stranding, in 2010 he became an Assistant Coordinator and in 2014 was appointed Permit Holder/Program Coordinator.

When asked what they will miss, the Cusacks will tell you: their friends on the Turtle Patrol, talking to the public and watching their faces light up as they witness the wonders of sea turtles, watching the nesting and hatching of those precious sea turtles, and constantly learning new things.

The Turtle Patrol gathered recently for their annual end of season event, and in attendance were Alan Holden, Mayor of Holden Beach and Matthew Godfrey, Sea Turtle Biologist for NC Wildlife (NCWRC). Both Pat and Alice were awarded the distinction of Honorary Members of the Holden Beach Turtle Patrol. This honor is reserved for members with many years of service that have successfully handled extraordinary activities and have made considerable contributions to the Patrol.
Steve McNeill will take over as Program Coordinator. Pat is confident McNeill will do a great job as he knows he is smart, calm, and organized. McNeill shadowed Cusack this season.
