Marine Turtle Outreach

Within the Marine Turtle Ecology & Assessment Program, we are deeply committed to engaging with the general public in a variety of educational efforts. Our scientists outreach activities include presentations at societies and in classrooms, judging science fair presentations, giving tours, leading field outings, and participating in career panels. We view outreach and dissemination of information about local turtle ecology and conservation as an integral part of our mission.
