    It’s a Deep Dive with Birds and Dolphins, oh my!

    Release Date: 12/21/2023

    Description: Take a deep dive with us on this episode recorded on location at Tybee Island Marine Science Center. We're talking about the biggest pillars here at the Science Center - Education and Conservation. Program Director Allison Williford Caldwell is back to teach us all about two programs - Bird Rescue and Marine Mammal Stranding. The team works closely with area veterinarians during bird rescue to assess and properly rehab injured birds. Alli also talks about the coastal birds you might spot in this region.  When it comes to Marine Mammal Stranding - you'll learn about some of the work the Tybee Marine Science Center team does in the field with photo-identification with dolphins after a mass-stranding. And hold on tight for the tidal swings in Coastal Georgia. Because we have such a big swing in tides, most marine mammals in this region have adapted their routines.  Learn more about the voices in this episode: Follow Tybee Marine Science on Instagram What's happening at Tybee Island Marine Science Center Proudly hosted and produced by Dee Daniels Media Resources: Plan your visit to Tybee Island Marine Science Center Volunteer at Tybee Island Marine Science Center Partnership and Donation Opportunities

    Release Date: 09/21/2023

    Description: Marine Debris Ambassador Ike, our resident sea turtle, is about to be released for his greatest adventure to the Atlantic Ocean - Saturday, September 23rd at 8AM. After 3 years of education to over 300,000 students and visitors, we're on location at Tybee Island Marine Science Center talking with Executive Director Chantal Audran and the Curator Team - Rachel Cantrell and Sarah Alley - who have cared for Ike during his time at the science center. In this episode, you'll learn about how Ike, who is a Loggerhead Sea Turtle, came to TIMCS in the middle of the pandemic. He's now 3 years old - and ready to return to the sea!   Loggerheads get their name from their large head-to-body ratio. They have powerful jaws able to crack through large snail shells and other mollusks and crustacean exoskeletons. Loggerheads are federally protected under the Endangered Species Act with 9 distinct population segments listed as threatened or endangered.    You can watch Ike's release Saturday, September 23rd at 8AM on Tybee Island - beachside by the North Beach Center Crossover!    Learn more about the voices in this episode:   Tybee Island Marine Science Center Website   Tybee Island Marine Center Instagram   Producer - Dee Daniels    Take Action:    Become a Volunteer   Become a Member
