Sea Turtles of the Eastern Pacific Presentation-Feb 5th Todos Santos

"Sea Turtles of the Eastern Pacific"

February 5, 2016 @ 5:30 PM -Todos Santos Cultural Center

Presenter: Stephanie Rousso, M.S., Wildlife Biologist, ProFaunaBaja
Sea turtles have survived millions of years relatively unchanged by evolution. Of the 7 global species, five are present in the Eastern Pacific and Gulf of California and three nest on beaches in southern Baja Peninsula. Sea turtles complete long-distance migrations and encounter multiple predators through their lives. However, the most dangerous threat their existence faces is from human action. Despite international conservation treaties created to protect these species, fisheries, marine debris and coastal development prevent their recovery from decades past of hunting them almost to extinction. In this presentation, learn about the species right off the coast of Baja, the new, innovative citizen science project to help monitor populations, what they can tell us about climate change, and what each and every person can do right from home to help preserve these ancient dinosaurs of the ocean.

Tickets $100 pesos ($120 at the door) will go towards local student environmental scholarships. Seating is limited. Doors open at 5:00 and presentation will start at 5:30 sharp. Advance tickets available at El Tecolote Bookstore in Todos Santos.
