The Tybee Sea Turtle Project is a conservation project permitted through the Georgia Department of Natural Resources to monitor and protect sea turtles on Tybee Island. The project team locates and protects sea turtle nests on the island. The science center's resident sea turtles serve as Marine Debris Ambassadors during their three year stay. While growing strong and healthy, our current resident sea turtles, Westie and Ossie, educate visitors on the impacts affecting sea turtle populations and our conservation efforts to protect them.

Deadline for a guaranteed runner shirt is April 6th. Become a sea turtle supporter and register for the Turtle Trot today!
