Join us for this lecture-based program to learn about the amazing lives of marine mammals, specifically right whales: Using various whale artifacts, we’ll discuss their anatomy, adaptations, life cycle, and current conservation efforts for this critically endangered species. Afterwards, the educator will show you our right whale exhibit, and introduce to you our life-sized right whale model, Smoke. Recommended for ages six and above.

Join us to learn about the amazing lives of these sea turtles. We’ll discuss anatomy, natural adaptations, why sea turtles cry, natal beaches, and Tybee Island’s conservation efforts.

During this trek through Georgia’s salt marsh, you’ll get hands-on exploration in the mud searching for animals and learning about these unique areas.
