North Branch Nature Center

Departing Westview at 5:30pm

Sea Turtles play several critical roles in our lives. Sea turtles help to maintain the balance of our ecological systems, keeping the ocean a safe space for all of us to swim, fish and do other recreational activities. “For the past 15 years, Javier Mayo Huerta and Lucy Carmona Liborio have been working to protect sea turtles on the Pacific coast of their native Mexico. Patrolling a 13-mile stretch of beach at night, they ward off poachers who dig up turtle eggs for sale on the black market, transport the eggs to a protected enclosure by their beachside home, safeguard the eggs until they hatch, and then escort the babies to the ocean where they will do their best to survive. Middlesex freelance photographer Elliot Burg has documented Javier and Lucy’s extraordinary work and looks forward to sharing his images and experience in this evening travelogue and slideshow.” Please join us for this fun event!
