Event Follow the scientists as they track the migration of sea turtles.
Learn about the extraordinary efforts in place to protect and conserve these tremendous turtles. Students will learn about the sea turtle biology and behavior, see rare footage of the nesting process. On the evening of the 25th in a special bonus broadcast, students will also be able to participate in the live survey of a sea turtle nest, possibly resulting in a chance to see live hatchlings. These fascinating reptiles have been around since the age of dinosaurs, but threats from humans endanger their continued existence. Their ability to migrate thousands of miles and need to nest on land's edge pose interesting dilemmas for the scientists trying to save them.
