Sea Turtle 911 | 11:15am-12pm
- Every year, hundreds of juvenile sea turtles strand on the beaches of Cape Cod Bay as water temperatures drop. Why do these “cold-stunned” turtles wash ashore, and how can we help them? Amy Fleischer, Education Director at Mass Audubon’s Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, will lead an interactive family program about nature of sea turtles, their life cycles, their habitats, and our role in their conservation. Hands-on, inquiry-based activities—and a turtle shells and skeletons exhibit—are sure to interest young explorers!
