When they aren’t out marking nests or monitoring for hatch activity, some of our volunteers conduct local education outreach. We love when we are contacted by local organizations to share information about our program and protecting sea turtles. The audiences range from elementary age students to local civic organizations and weekly guests at local hotels or condos. In the last few months, we have had the chance to conduct education outreach at Rising Leaders Academy, Bay Day, Waller Elementary, Hutchinson Beach Elementary and Landmark Holiday Beach Resort. We are always excited by the interest everyone has during our presentation and then the questions they ask. We enjoy getting the opportunity to present and then let get an up close view of our educational specimens and items that help everyone understand the dangers to sea turtles and how they can help.
