“Turtles and Terrapins at Barnegat Bay,” a special family and children’s program, will allow participants to interact with terrapins “who call our waters and marshland home” through a turtle egg-to-adult survival activity, a press release states.
Beginning at 11 a.m., “Diamondback Terrapins at Barnegat Bay: 13 Years of Lessons Learned, How You Can Get Involved” will introduce individuals to live terrapins during a discussion of the LBIF’s new terrapin sighting project. The forum will discuss the different research initiatives with diamondback terrapins at Barnegat Bay and conservation programs throughout the area.
This Saturday’s presentations will be held in the LBIF’s main building, located at 120 Long Beach Blvd. in Loveladies. Breakfast treats will be provided by A Little Bite of Italy.
Admittance is free for LBIF members. All others are asked to donate $5.
