Sea Turtle Saturday | February 28

We are so excited for another Sea Turtle Saturday, hosted by Galveston Nature Tourism Council. A wonderful way to fine tune your sea turtle advocacy skills! Featuring a presentation by Joanie Steinhaus, TIRN’s Ocean Program Director! “Joanie has worked at informal education and environmental sites including the Houston Zoo, the Lower Colorado River Authority and Turtle Island Restoration Network.

She has extensive experience in educating youth and adults about stewardship and conservation of our natural resources. Joanie has worked with a variety of organizations, both locally and state-wide, to advance conservation and sustainability issues. Her diverse knowledge and passion about the environment in Texas can be seen in her outreach work to local politicians, community groups, homeowner associations and the general public to help them understand the value of protecting the local flora and fauna. Joanie currently serves as a Sanctuary Advisory Member for the Flower Gardens Bank National Marine Sanctuary in a Conservation Seat.

Presentation: Sea Turtles and the Plastic Crisis. The Gulf is home to five species of sea turtles, and the Trinity River has over 16 million people in it’s watershed. Learn what you are able to do to help save marine wildlife from entanglement and ingestion of plastic.”
