As we continue to talk about the conservation and education programs at Tybee Island Marine Science Center, today we focus on the Sea Turtle Project and Diamondback Terrapin Rescue and Release. Sarah Alley, who is part of the Curator Team at the Science Center, is here to educate us on Sea Turtle nesting season on Tybee Island. She also talks about how the population and tourist factors play a big part in the season. It's a team effort for sure with many team members and volunteers.
When it comes to the Diamondback Terrapin Rescue and Release program, Sarah explains how the marshes throughout Coastal Georgia provide a great ecosystem for the Terrapins to live. When you stop in to visit the Science Center you can meet Ruby and Pearl, the resident Terrapins, who are there to educate. You'll hear about the importance of the Hatchling Headstart Program as well as the biggest threats for this magnificent species.
