They were given the opportunity to talk about activities focused on sea turtle biology, nesting ecology, beach monitoring, habitat protection, research techniques, and responsible conservation practices.
SKSTMN has been engaging in conservation work for a significant time. Their work includes nesting beach monitoring, tagging, and public education carried out alongside the Department of Marine Resources.
The Participants were able to gather significant knowledge and practical skills gained during the programme, campers are now better equipped to support future sea turtle conservation efforts as trained volunteers under the guidance of the St. Kitts Sea Turtle Monitoring Network and the Department of Marine Resources.
