This past Saturday, Easter came to Jekyll Island with an outdoor event sponsored by the Jekyll Island Authority! Of course the GSTC participated in the Spring event with a table of super-cool specimens for festival-goers to see. And what would a festival be without a recycled craft?! The education team craftily designed ‘turtle wobbles,’ a cardboard cut out turtle that children could decorate with epibiota stickers, including crabs, anemones & barnacles. Once stuck atop a plastic Easter egg, the turtles came to life and swam home with children of all ages.
That same afternoon, the GSTC made its second stage debut with a riveting performance filled with suspense, action and a heart-warming rescue. How lucky we were to have a sea turtle veterinarian right in our own audience! Check out the video clip of this emergency sea turtle rescue.
