7:00 am: Breakfast
8:00 - 10:00 am: Field Demonstration: SCI Sea Turtle Nest Protection Program
Instructors: Gayle Bishop, Norton, Segars
We learned about the loggerhead sea turtle nest protection program at St. Catherines and helped to find and relocate a sea turtle nest to higher ground.
10:00: Pack up, pack a box lunch
11:00 am: Depart St. Catherines Island
Afternoon: Tour of the Georgia Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island
The Georgia Sea Turtle Center is an AMAZING PLACE. They rehabilitate injured sea-turtles and release them back to the wild. It is set up as a visitor center with information about the turtles. Guests can watch the veterinary staff perform procedures and tour the holding tanks that house massive turtles.
3:00 pm: Drive to Fort Pierce
The six-hour drive actually went by fairly fast. It was a great opportunity to rest on a comfortable buss and catch up with classmates. When we got to our hotel we split into groups of three to share rooms. I will be rooming with Vincent (French Canadian) and Trisha (Normal Canadian) for the next two weeks.
