- **Event Name**: 🌊 Sea Turtles of Our Coast🐢
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 06 Apr, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Mon, 06 Apr, 2026 at 07:30 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: From tiny hatchlings racing toward the surf to massive adults navigating thousands of miles across the Atlantic, sea turtles are some of the most incredible travelers on the planet.

Presented by Ranger Emily Abernethy, join us to discover the species that nest along our shores — including the beloved Loggerhead — and learn how the beaches of Fort Fisher State Recreation Area provide critical nesting habitat each summer.

During this program, you’ll explore:

🐢 The life cycle and migration patterns of sea turtles
🐢 How rangers locate, monitor, and protect nests
🐢 The real challenges sea turtles face — from predators to plastic pollution
🐢 Simple, meaningful ways YOU can help protect these ancient mariners

Through real artifacts and current conservation stories, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the work happening right here on our coast to protect nesting sea turtles.

🐢 Meet the Diamondback Terrapin

We’ll also spotlight the fascinating Diamondback terrapin — a unique coastal turtle that lives in brackish marshes and estuaries rather than the open ocean.

Learn about the Diamondback Terrapin Tally, an exciting community science initiative that blends kayaking adventure with hands-on conservation. Volunteers explore local waterways while helping protect one of our coast’s most unique turtles.

Perfect for families, beach lovers, and nature enthusiasts of all ages.

From ocean-roaming sea turtles to marsh-loving terrapins, this program offers a deeper look at the turtles that call our coast home — and the vital role we all play in protecting them.

🌊 Come curious. Leave inspired. 🐢
