On Wednesday, November 12 the Marion Natural History Museum is hosting “Sea Turtle Stranding Rescue” from 3:30 to 4:30 pm. As fall arrives, sea temperatures drop and sea turtles know to head south to warmer climes. Sadly, some of these turtles become locked in the bay by a wall of ocean water too cold for reptiles to pass. They become trapped and eventually become cold-stunned and strand on bayside beaches in fall storms. Hypothermia grips as frigid winds plunge body temperatures to freezing, and death follows quickly if turtles are not recovered by intrepid rescuers such as our speakers: Don Lewis and Sure Weber Nourse. This program is appropriate for ages 5 – 105 and all are welcome to attend this fascinating event. Cost for the program is $4 for members and $6 for non-members. The museum is located on the second floor of the building we share with the library, at 8 Spring Street in Marion. Pre-registration is strongly advised. To pre-register, please go to the after-school section of the museum’s website: www.marionmuseum.org, fill out a registration form and submit with payment. Hope to see you there!
