Naturalist 101: Conserving Loggerhead Sea Turtles, with The Caretta Research Project

Loggerhead sea turtles are a beloved species along Georgia’s coast. For more than 50 years, Wassaw Island’s Caretta Research Project has been dedicated to protecting and ensuring the full recovery of our loggerhead population. Through education, research, and conservation initiatives, CRP has contributed to an 8-fold increase in loggerhead nesting since 1973—with one of the longest-term data sets on Georgia’s coast and across the world!

In this Naturalist 101 lecture “Conserving Loggerhead Sea Turtles: An Inside Look at one of Georgia’s Longest Running Sea Turtle Programs,” Kristen Zemaitis, CRP Biologist & Educator, shares invaluable insight into their work on Wassaw and ongoing efforts to protect this iconic species.
