Want to become a citizen scientist? Join our Turtle School workshop! You will learn some of the ecology and biology of our local sea turtle species, how to identify them, and how to help protect them! Once in the water you can test your identification skills and practice responsible interaction while photographing our stunning sea turtles in one of Australia's most diverse and beautiful marine sanctuaries. Your participation, education, and photo-identification contributions directly support the conservation of these critically endangered animals.
