Turtle Conservation Season
What to expect?
Workshops
Water Safety, Snorkeling & Skin Diving Basics
Emphasizing the importance of safety in enjoying the natural environment, the workshop will cover topics such as buoyancy control, the proper use of equipment like masks and snorkels, and even introduce participants to introductory techniques in skin diving.
Turtle Nesting Habitat
The shoreline ecosystem is the nesting location for sea turtles. Trees impact the soil and sand, and their root network partially prevents beach erosion, providing suitable nesting ground. Many creatures call this habitat home, from small shoreline crabs to large monitor lizards.
Shore Reef Exploration
Using skills learned in Workshop 1, you will learn about the coral reef and its inhabitants, ranging from small barnacles and sea stars to fish of different shapes and colours. The workshop offers an opportunity to explore and learn about the diverse marine life residing in the coral reef.
