Sea Turtle Preservation Society Monthly Meeting
Thu Mar 4, 7:00 PM - Thu Mar 4, 9:30 PM

Guest Speaker:

This month, members of the University of Central Florida's Marine Turtle Research
Group will join STPS to talk about the upcoming sea turtle nesting season in
Brevard County and the most-asked questions that their team fields about sea
turtle nesting.

The UCF Marine Turtle Research Group research program focuses on sea turtle biology, ecology,
behavior, and conservation across all sea turtle life stages—from eggs to
adults. The MTRG provides field-based educational and research opportunities to
students, and scientific advisory service to local, state, and international
science and management entities. Their field sites include long-term nesting
beach and coastal juvenile sea turtle research programs within Archie Carr
National Wildlife Refuge and the Indian River Lagoon in central Florida, and
oceanic "lost years" tracking work in the Gulf of Mexico, North and South
Atlantic, and Indian Oceans.
