Episode 13 - Turtle Talk with MacKenna

This week is MacKenna’s moment to shine as she fills us in on all things TURTLES! She has spent the last six months at the Georgia Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island, GA, and has lots to share! Plus don’t miss Serena joining in to nerd out on ocean currents, climate and microplastics! Conservation and sustainability runs deep in our family and we are so excited to share some of what we have learned with you all…plus TURTLES!

Also, adult loggerheads are 200-400 pounds and adult greens are 300-500 pounds!
