Fort Fisher Summer Aquarium Program - SEA TURTLE 911

  • Oak Island Recreation Center 3003 East Oak Island Drive Oak Island, NC, 28465 United States (map)

This program features outreach educators from the NC Aquarium at Ft. Fisher, presenting a free, hour-long program to engage visitors, families and summer campers in learning about and interacting with the animals that live in the sea.

Sea Turtles need our help STAT! Participants discover some of the challenges that these protected species face by taking on the roles of sea turtle Veterinarians. Together we diagnose our sea turtle patients' injury or illness and we discuss the best treatment so our patients can return to the sea. No live sea turtles are included in this presentation, though their land and freshwater turtle friends will visit to aid in understanding characteristics and adaptations that each type of turtle needs for life in its habitat.
