FREE WEBINAR: Sea turtles: Solving the puzzle of a life in the ocean

[Emily Uhrig]

Join us at the Center for Wildlife Studies for our Wildlife Wednesday webinar on June 10, 2026 at 5:30pm Eastern Time.

This month, we're celebrating Sea Turtle Week with the webinar "Sea turtles: Solving the puzzle of a life in the ocean"

Presentation Summary:

Sea turtles spend the vast majority of their lives in the open ocean, far from human sight. This "hidden" existence makes protecting them a unique challenge: how do we conserve a species that disappears for decades at a time?

This presentation will explore how scientists are finally solving these mysteries. From the nesting beaches of the Yucatán to distant foraging grounds, Dr. Lopez-Castro explains how her team uses tools like satellite tagging and biochemical markers to piece together the life stories of these ancient travelers. We’ll learn about how modern challenges, like rising temperatures are affecting the sex of hatchlings, make this work more urgent than ever.

Presenter: Dr. Melania Lopez-Castro; Marine Biologist & Conservation Scientist; Instructor, Center for Wildlife Studies
