2010 Lecture Series Schedule
January 14th- Join GSTC staff member Jeannie Miller and Stefanie Ouellette for a review of their presentations in Marathon, FL. Jeannie Miller will discuss the Center’s new Americorps program and how it has changed the GSTC for the better. Stefanie Ouellette will present on our satallight tagging program.
February 11th- Join GSTC General Manager Jim Squires as he shares one of his true passions, underwater photography.
With nearly three-quarters of our planet hidden beneath the sea, a whole new world waits to be discovered. Stunning seascapes, sunken shipwrecks, psychedelically colored fish, and unseen animal behaviors rest just below the surface. This presentation will offer an overview of the challenges and rewards of underwater photography, and an intimate glimpse of some of the ocean’s incredible creatures including, of course, sea turtles.
Jim Squires recently moved to Saint Simons Island, GA from Charlotte, Vermont where he spent many years as an early childhood education expert and amateur nature photographer. As a scuba diving instructor for over 25 years, underwater photography combined two of his passions into a dream hobby. He has placed in several photography contests, having won Hawaii’s Kona Classic Underwater Photography Competition in 2006 and Grand Cayman’s Digital Madness Photography Contest in 2007.
March 11th- Join Georiga Sea Turtle Center Director and Veterinarian Dr. Terry Norton as he shares stories from his life as a wildlife veterinarian. A great one for the kids who want to be a vet when they grow up!
