Our education outreach team partnered with Gulf World Marine Institute to host an outreach session for Girl Scout Troop 103 from Tallahassee. They were visiting PCB to learn about sea turtles and they all have a strong affinity for marine life (they have toured other marine life facilities). During this visit, they earned their Water Badge after seeing our educational specimens, hearing about our program and sea turtle species common to this area. They also observed the GWMI rehabilitation activities for sea turtles including treatments being performed on a loggerhead patient. We are inspired by the passion this group of ladies had for marine life and who knows, maybe they will one day be professionals in the field or volunteers themselves!
