Kiholo Educational Outreach

 March 13, 2022

Kiholo Bay Educational Outreach    

Laura Jim "talks turtle" with students and faculty from Oregon Episcopal School at Kiholo Bay.

    

On Sunday, March 13 STRP co-directors Laura Jim and Marc Rice traveled to Kiholo Bay to meet with a group of students and faculty on Spring Break trip from the Oregon Epsicopal School to "talk turtle".  Since Kiholo Bay is the site where we first began our cooperative HPA/NOAA Sea Turtle Research Program it is fitting that this site was chosen.  Kiholo remains an important forage and refuge area for juvenile and sub-adult green turtles and is still one of our study areas.

Attached is a short video of beautiful Kiholo Bay and our talk with the students from OES.
