SEPTEMBER MONTHLY MEETING PRESENTATION🐢Topic: Sea Turtles in Atlantic Canada
🐢Tuesday September 17, 2024 at 7:00 pm
🐢Mapleton Park Rotary Lodge
🐢Presenter: April Nason
🐢Did you know there are four species of sea turtles present in Atlantic Canada? This presentation will focus particularly on the unique anatomy of the most common sea turtle in Canadian waters, the Leatherback Sea Turtle, and the historic work of the Canadian Sea Turtle Network.
🐢Presenter April Nason developed a life-long interest in turtles from the pet turtles she received as a child. She completed 3 years of her marine biology degree at UNBSJ and then swerved into dental school and a career in dentistry until she rediscovered her love for sea turtles. Eventually, she enrolled in the Lifelong Learning Education program at MSVU where her thesis focused on finding the love between people and turtles. She is now the Education and Outreach Coordinator for the Canadian Sea Turtle Network, spending the past two years talking turtles throughout Canada and beyond.
🐢April will also discuss cold-stunned hard shell sea turtles, a phenomenon that is on the rise in our region, and what you can do to help save the lives of these turtles.
🐢This will be an in-person presentation at the Rotary Lodge with a Zoom link for those who want to join in from home.
🐢All are welcome, Nature Moncton member or not.
