For more than three decades, Jean Beasley was the sea turtle's best friend along the NC coast. Friends vow to keep her legacy alive https://t.co/RlDOPHUkhh @StarNewsOnline @EnvironmentNC @NCCoastalFed @SeaTurtleHosp @NCDEQ @NCWildlife @SierraClubNC

PHOTOS: The weather was monsoon-like. But that didn't stop hundreds of supporters turning out in Surf City Monday to see 15 sea turtles rehabbed at @SeaTurtleHosp released back into the wild. https://t.co/CthfJ9PUDb @StarNewsOnline @NCCoastalFed @EnvironmentNC @SierraClubNC

Excellent news! We support a state wide ban on balloon releases. Turtles like Limeapalooza would be grateful.

Balloon releases are now banned on the #OBX due to concerns over their impacts on marine life and the environment. Could a NC statewide ban be next? https://t.co/O80H4ygOBF #SeaTurtleConservation @StarNewsOnline @EnvironmentNC @NCDEQ @SeaTurtleHosp @brunsco

What's it like growing up on ice? Jade F-L, Jennifer W, & Cecilia L from @TMMC presented 2 standards- based curricula involving #seals that allow kids to explore #marinescience, #STEMcareers. Fun to experience activities featuring 🦭🦭; there aren't that many! 👏👏 #NMEA2024

[Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue & Rehabilitatn Ctr @SeaTurtleHosp]

Books are a great way to bring #marinescience, #STEMeducation into elementary classrooms. Also, writing, art, field experiences, data collecting, group activities. Keep it simple! Laura Moore, E Lyme Public Schools presented a ton of great ideas. #NMEA2024

Using puffy pens or spaghetti as graph axes & raised dot stickers to plot data points adds texture that makes #marinescience #STEMeducation activities more #accessible for the visually impaired. Carla Curran shared 3 interesting activities about harmful algal blooms. #NMEA2024

[Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue & Rehabilitatn Ctr @SeaTurtleHosp]

How do you convey the fluke strokes, side rolls, swimming movements of #whale foraging dives to someone who is visually impaired? Terry Wolcowicz, Sound Explorations combines sculpture texture, shape w/ music to represent #marinescience data. Inspiring! #NMEA2024 #inclusion #STEM

[Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue & Rehabilitatn Ctr @SeaTurtleHosp]

How long have #whitesharks been on #CapeCod? The @A_WhiteShark presented an interesting & impactful time line activity w/ tons of extensions into #STEMeducation, engineering, history, literature, policy, & more. They have great educational resources on their website! #NMEA2024

Developing a Youth Marine Debris Action Plan is a great way to engage young people and empower them to make meaningful change. All while practicing skills in #STEMeducation! A great idea from the @NOAADebris program at #NMEA2024. #marinedebris

Your team of engineers specializes in creating prosthetics. How might you create a prototype of a prosthetic for a #marineanimal? @wadeinstitutema presents a fun STEM challenge at #NMEA2024. We also offer a #seaturtle version of this activity! #STEMeducation

Fascinating to listen to Elizabeth James-Perry tell about connecting to the ocean as a scientist, as an artist, and as a member of the Aquinnah Wampanoag. Thank you! #NMEA2024 #WomeninSTEM #womeninSTEAM @NatlMarineEd

[Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue & Rehabilitatn Ctr @SeaTurtleHosp]

Inspired by Dr. Letise LaFeir of @NEAQ discussing how #aquariums inspired her, & how they are a catalyst for positive change. "Aquariums drive ocean solutions, foster ocean champions." We agree! And would add visits to #seaturtle rehab ctrs!

We're posting today from the National Marine Educators' Association in Boston. It's fun meeting up with old and new friends, and learning new ideas for #marineeducation. Marine science is wicked awesome! #NMEA2024 @NatlMarineEd

[Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue & Rehabilitatn Ctr @SeaTurtleHosp]

By providing data in a "data jam," @AnnetteSTEMGaps encourages students to graph, analyze data. Techniques including "notice, think, wonder" & "mystery challenge" have students discuss data. A graph choice chart like this from https://t.co/3u0j6hnLjq is a helpful tool. #NMEA2024

[Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue & Rehabilitatn Ctr @SeaTurtleHosp]

Using real world events, in this case #whale #entanglements, offers compelling example of anchor phenomenon in a @NOAAFisheries Science Camp. Students DO vs are tol --> more engaging. Thanx 4 a great #NMEA2024 session, @tressaarbow of NOAA & Maile Sullivan of @WASeaGrant.

"The discovery of hydrothermal vents revolutionized our understanding of life on earth." Dr Tim Shank, @shanklab_WHOI.
Thank you, Dr Shank, for a fascinating glimpse into researching life at the extreme depths of our ocean at #NMEA24! #marineeducation #oceanliteracy @NatlMarineEd

[Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue & Rehabilitatn Ctr @SeaTurtleHosp]

Thank you for benefiting the sea turtles with your art work!!

[Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue & Rehabilitatn Ctr @SeaTurtleHosp]

What a fun event to benefit #seaturtles!

[Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue & Rehabilitatn Ctr @SeaTurtleHosp]

"We are a community of people... seeking to share the world around us" for #seaturtles and people alike. Thank you Steve Dunbar and #ISTS42 organizing committee for an amazing symposium. We truly are even more All In, All Together - thanks to you. 🤗🐢

Kartik Shanker: "One's ideas must be as broad as Nature, if we are to succeed at conservation." Excellent and thought provoking perspectives on #seaturtles and #conservation. Thank you for your talk!
