TURTLE TALKS: Learn all about the Loggerhead Sea Turtle

Welcome to the Season 2 kick-off of the Tybee Island Marine Science Center Podcast!  Welcome to our TURTLE TALKS! Today, we're learning everything we can about the fascinating Loggerhead Turtle. Worldwide there are seven species of turtles, and what's really cool is .... we see FIVE of those species on the Georgia coast.  Tybee Marine Science Educator Lindsay McGuire is teaching us all about the Loggerhead turtle's size, diet, anatomy, and of course the OH-SO-IMPORTANT nesting season. We'll also talk about light pollution and the "lost years" for Loggerheads.  Do you know what sea turtle tracks look like? Did you know one sea turtle Mom will lay about 75-125 eggs? Did you know that turtles are not able to see certain colors? Lindsay explains which colors turtles can and cannot see, and why it's so important to follow light pollution regulations.  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
