Virtual talk on sea turtle rescue and rehab with Bob Michelson to take place Aug. 13 at Milton Public Library

On Tuesday, Aug. 13, at 7:00 p.m., we are offering a virtual talk via Zoom called: “The Rescue and Rehab of Sea Turles on Cape Cod” with underwater diver/photographer and naturalist Bob Michelson. Join him to learn about young sea turtles who are stranded on north-facing beaches of Cape Cod. These “cold stunned” turtles are near death and suffer from pneumonia, as well as injuries to their bodies, or both.

The program follows photographer Michelson, who was contracted by NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries service to document the entire process, from rescuing sea turtles along Cape Cod beaches through their medical care and rehabilitation at the New England Aquarium sea turtle facility, to their release back into the environment. Exclusive underwater photos will be shown, so please sign on to learn more! Advance registration is required to receive the Zoom link so go here to sign up: https://tinyurl.com/ycxa63re

All of these events are kindly sponsored by the Friends of the MPL and are free and open to all.
