Chapter Meeting
March 16, 2017 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Cristi and Randy Beehn on Turtle Patrol
Advanced Training (1 hour) presented by Joanie Steinhaus (Turtle Island Restoration Project)
Turtle Island’s Sea Turtle Restoration Project works to protect and restore populations of endangered sea turtles and marine biodiversity on the Texas Coast and throughout the Gulf. In 2014, Turtle Island began coordinating volunteer recruitment, training and scheduling of the Upper Texas Coast Nesting Beach Monitor Program.
The Upper Coast program, initiated by Dr. Andre Landry of Texas A&M University, is one of six patrol units on the Texas Coast that provides vital sea turtle nesting data, first responders when sea turtles are sighted by the public, and crucial training to volunteers.
A Chapter Business Meeting will follow.
