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.
