The Tybee Sea Turtle Project locates and protects sea turtle nests on the island. The science center’s resident sea turtles serve as Marine Debris Ambassadors during their three year stay. While growing strong and healthy, Ike and Westie educate visitors on the impacts affecting sea turtle populations and our conservation efforts to protect them.
