Talking Turtle751 viewsPictures of Marion Natural History Museum's Sea Turtle program with Karen Dourdeville. During the program we talked about the life history of sea turtles and saw slides of the turtles that can be found in Buzzards Bay, and learned what we can do to help protect them. We also examined the museum's preserved Hawksbill turtle, and the kids got their very own life sized turtle "egg" made of dough to make into their own baby turtle.
