Suisun Marsh Natural History Association
Sea Turtles!
The Suisun Wildlife Center is excited to present an offering on a terrific subject – sea turtles! A slide presentation with visual models. Presenter and Board member Lisa Burton has been on 9 sea turtle research trips from the Caribbean to Central and South America and the Georgia coast.
Lisa has worked with five of the eight endangered species of sea turtles. The various projects have included tagging, nest relocation, egg monitoring, weighing and measuring adults, hatchling recovery and releases, hatching success rates, patrolling for poachers and educating beach tour groups.
The slide show begins with the age of the dinosaurs and the first turtles to evolve. Eight species currently swim our oceans and each one is described. The sea turtle’s life cycle is discussed with an emphasis on the problems they face for survival. Conservation solutions will be touched upon and followed by a question and answer period. Join Lisa from 7:30 to 9:00 PM for an enlightening and fascinating look at ancient species that still exist today!
