Fall 2023 Upcoming Events
December 7 – Genetic Tools for Sea Turtle Conservation
7 pm (doors open at 6:30)
OHM Office (7 Glynn Ave., Brunswick)
Call it Ancestry DNA for sea turtles. For more than a decade, Dr. Brian Shamblin with UGA’s Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources has worked with partners across the Southeast to create a genetic database that helps researchers better understand turtles’ nesting habits and relationships. This innovative project isn’t just connecting generations of nesting turtles: it’s also creating a legacy for the future and continued recovery of loggerhead sea turtle populations.
Join us on Thursday, December 7 at 7:00 pm for our Naturalist 101 lecture with Dr. Shamblin: “Genetic Tools for Sea Turtle Conservation.” Come hear what scientists have learned to date and what’s next in the cutting-edge field of sea turtle genetics. This event is free, but we ask that you please register in advance for planning purposes.
