You’ve probably heard a lot about sea turtles over the past few years (remember the switch to metal and reusable straws?!). At this event, sea turtle experts will teach us all about these magnificent creatures through interactive experiments and simulations. We will participate in a mapping activity using real sea turtle tagging data and have the opportunity to simulate the tagging process (taking size measurements, choosing the appropriate tag, and seeing how the tagging system works remotely). We will also get hands-on with some sea specimens such as seaweed, algae, jellyfish, crabs, and sea sponges.

If you’re interested in saving the turtles, this one is definitely for you!
