📣 Let’s talk about plastic use reduction and recycling! 📣

Ocean optimism is so important to conservation. Even in the darkest holes of research about marine plastics and recycling, we have to find ways to shed light on the future. Every day actions CAN change the world!

[Sea Turtle, Inc. @SeaTurtleInc]

Our very own @TurtlesAndTess sits down with us to discuss the impact plastic has on sea turtles. She gives some great tips on how to easily reduce your plastic footprint this Spring break! #marineconservation #plasticpollution #SouthPadreIsland

Had a blast guiding and banding for the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival this year! It’s the #southtexas warblers for me 🦜👀😱 #RGV #birding #tennessee #hooded #warbler

ABSURD to me that the media used to glorify the use of plastic like this! 😡Now it is ✨ubiquitous ✨in our environment🌎(and our bodies)😬

Let’s #BeatPlasticPollution by getting educated 👩‍🏫and making active choices to help out ♻️

Fun fact: I discovered the uniqueness of the Sri Lankan blue whales because I saw them poop! 🐋 💩 How? You will have to read the article to get all the details!

It's been a 20 yr journey but will I ever stop? No thank you! @sciencenews

🚨 Cold stunning is the MOST significant stranding cause in Texas and warming SST mean #’s on the rise ❄️🐢

Huge thanks to @Donna_J_Shaver and @PadreIslandNPS for the training and to Mark @RotterdamZoo for some insight into ⬆️ cold strandings in the North Sea! 🧐

Wait, why did I never think about this as an issue… My kitten is eating sharks 😭🐈‍⬛🦈

⚠️ Just as we think the season has officially come to an end, we have another nest! This season has been not only our largest with 104 nests, now it's also our longest season! Watch as our Conservation Field Supervisor, Tess, explains more about the process.

What did you do this weekend? 🐢 #seaturtle #meme

[Tess DeSerisy @TurtlesAndTess]

What kind of eggs are these!? 👀 For reference: this is an indoor English Ivy plant. What do I do?! 🌱🪴😭

[Sea Turtle, Inc. @SeaTurtleInc]

When sea turtles hatch from a nest, it is called a boil. This is because the turtles come out of the sand so quickly, and in such a large number, it looks like the sand is boiling. How many hatchlings can you count in this photo? 👀🕵️‍♂️#seaturtle #conservation #turtletuesday

[Sea Turtle, Inc. @SeaTurtleInc]

⚠️ Nesting & Hatchling update ⚠️️ It was an incredibly exciting day yesterday with nesting and hatching activity. Our season total currently stands at 90 nests, 8659 eggs and 1523 hatchlings released! #nestingseason #seaturtle

[Tess DeSerisy @TurtlesAndTess]

I’m always caught doing the most important work… texting @WendyKnightgra1 we’ve got this lady tagged and ready to go back to the ocean! 🐢💕🤳

[Tess DeSerisy @TurtlesAndTess]

Can’t stop the giggles! I’m so lucky to work with such a silly crew of amazing humans 🐢🥰🥹

@jordan_burgess_ WHAT?! so it really was displaced because of pile driving 😭😭
