Oh come on, wrobert. My wife and I "turtle watched" one year at Topsail. NO ONE GETS PAID, to the best of my knowledge. I know we certainly didn't nor did we expect to. wrobert, I have the deepest respect for you but you obviously know nothing about the beach situation in Walton County so, with all due respect, may I suggest you keep informing us on things you DO know about.
I believe somebody gets paid for administrative work, also there is a coordinator and an assistant, and anybody that walks at least three times a week has the opportunity to get paid.
