In 2021, members of our Wildpath camera trapping team Carlton Ward Jr. and Malia Byrtus set out to camera trap American crocodile nests at Turkey Point Nuclear Plant in Homestead, Florida as part of National Geographic’s original series narrated by Garth Brooks. The camera trap work can be seen in the ‘Biscayne’ episode, now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.
