Activities

Sea Turtle Conservation

    We often involve participants in some kind of sea turtles conservation activities which may include building cages to protect the nest from racoons, transplanting nests from places where they might get flooded or run over, excavating hatched nests, tagging sea turtles, rescuing sea turtles, and collecting data on dead strandings. One evening's presentation is usually on sea turtles.
