Learn about the turtle tagging process through the slideshow below

Steve Connett has been doing turtle research in The Bahamas for over 30 years. His tagging work provides critical data for us to learn about the habitats, behaviors, overall health, and populations of sea turtles so we may take steps to preserve and protect this volatile species. Mr. Connett also educates children throughout the archipelago on turtle conservation and he provides opportunities for children to go on tagging expeditions for hands on learning. I am truly blessed to be connected to Steve and be part of this process. In June of 2016, under Steve’s direction we also started tagging turtle nests on Grand Bahama. Above is a picture of this newly formed team of local youths who will be part of this process.

"Every moment of our lives we have opportunities to create positive memories for ourselves and for others. At the end of our human incarnation, our memories are all we have left of our lives. We can live each moment in mistrust, fear and despair or we can live in light, love, happiness and joy. It is up to each of us to decide which path we will choose."
