Public Walks, Talks, and Treks

Join us to learn about the amazing lives of these sea turtles. We’ll discuss anatomy, natural adaptations, why sea turtles cry, natal beaches, and Tybee Island’s conservation efforts.

Join a marine science educator for a guided walk on Tybee’s north beach. Learn about ecology, marine life, and more while gaining an appreciation for our oceans.

During this trek through Georgia’s salt marsh, you’ll get hands-on exploration in the mud searching for animals and learning about these unique areas.

Catch and examine marine animals by pulling a seine net through waist deep water. You’ll learn about the organisms you catch, including crabs and jellyfish, then release them.
