We at Mermaid Cottages love our Tybee Sea Turtles!
Hopefully you’ll join us for not only the 5K walk/ run on the beach on Saturday and then stick around for the release of two rehabbed Sea Turtles from the Georgia Sea Turtle Center. You can still sign up – just be at the Marine Science Center by 7:30AM ( see details below!)
For details about the two turtles being released on the beach following the walk/run visit http://www.georgiaseaturtle.org/ and then go to the “our patients” page. Blizzard and Snowball’s stories are told here.
