Loggerhead sea turtles are a beloved species along Georgia’s coast. For more than 50 years, Wassaw Island’s Caretta Research Project has been dedicated to protecting and ensuring the full recovery of our loggerhead population. Through education, research, and conservation initiatives, CRP has contributed to an eight-fold increase in loggerhead nesting since 1973—with one of the longest-term data sets on Georgia’s coast and across the world!
Join us at OHM’s Savannah Office on Thursday, September 11th for our Naturalist 101 lecture "Conserving Loggerhead Sea Turtles: An Inside Look at one of Georgia’s Longest Running Sea Turtle Programs.” Kristen Zemaitis, CRP Biologist & Educator, will share invaluable insight into CRP's work on Wassaw and their ongoing efforts to protect this iconic species.
Doors open at 6:30 pm. The lecture begins at 7 pm, with Q&A to follow. Light refreshments will be served. This event is free, but we ask that you RSVP so we can plan accordingly. We will also livestream the event via Facebook; please tune in and participate virtually if you can't make it in person!
