Turtle Rescuer - 18th July

9.00am – 3.00pm Turtle Rescuer

Join us at the Dolphin Discovery Centre for a full-day program learning about everything turtles!!  

Learn how to recognise different turtle species from their tracks. Discover how warming sands, predators, and human impact affect our turtle nests. Participate in an egg excavation activity to save turtle eggs and participate in a turtle rescue simulation. Meet our rescue turtles and see how we get them ready to be released back to the ocean!

You will then get to measure some rescue plushie turtles just like we would with our real rescues! We will discuss satellite tracking (satellite telemetry), a form of data collection used by scientists. You will need to design and make your own tracker and tag your ‘turtle’ so they are ready for release!
