Out & About
With Ossie
On Sept. 26, 2026, the marine science center released the loggerhead sea turtle "Ossie" into the Atlantic Ocean. This straggler hatchling from Ossabaw Island spent three years as a TIMSC Marine Debris Ambassador, educating over 300,000 visitors. Now equipped with a tracker thanks to local environmental organization Save Sea Life, we can follow Ossie in the big blue yonder!
Each week we’ll check in on Ossie’s latest travels and see what corners of the ocean she’s exploring. The location data is received by satellites passing over as Ossie surfaces for a breath of air (no, sea turtles can't breath underwater!) Since there’s no live tracker link, this will be your behind-the-scenes pass to follow her adventures!
