World Sea Turtle Day Celebration

Celebrate World Sea Turtle Day at the Museum with the Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle Research! Learn about Florida sea turtles and what we can do to protect them with a virtual reality simulation, hands-on specimens and a scavenger hunt. Step into the flippers of a loggerhead turtle with Project S.H.E.L.L., a virtual reality simulation that allows guests to immerse themselves in the daily life of a loggerhead as it hatches and grows to become a nesting adult. During this free activity, participants can assume the perspective of a sea turtle when hatching and when navigating various hazards encountered during its life cycle. Users can experience multiple 360-degree videos that provide immersive glimpses of the terrestrial and aquatic habitats that are essential to sea turtle survival. Visitors will also have the opportunity to speak with researchers from the Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle Research, the Sea Turtle Conservancy at the University of Florida, UF Thompson Earth Systems Institute and the Alachua Conservation Trust about sea turtle conservation and careers in marine biology. Take part in a sea turtle scavenger hunt among the museum’s exhibits and check out sea turtle specimens and interactive educational materials. About The Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle ResearchThe Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle Research at the University of Florida was established in 1986 in recognition of the outstanding achievements and pioneering research of the late Archie Carr. Its mission is to conduct research in all aspects of the biology of sea turtles, to educate students, and to further marine conservation through the communication of these research results to the scientific community, management agencies, and conservation organizations throughout the world. About The Sea Turtle ConservancyThe Sea Turtle Conservancy, formerly known as the Caribbean Conservation Corporation, is the world’s oldest sea turtle research and conservation group. Founded by world-renowned sea turtle expert Dr. Archie Carr, the primary goal of the Sea Turtle Conservancy is to save sea turtles from eminent extinction through rigorous science-based conservation. Headquartered in Gainesville, the organization carries out worldwide programs to conserve and recover sea turtle populations through research, education, advocacy and protection of the natural habitats upon which they depend.About the Alachua Conservation TrustFounded in 1988, Alachua Conservation Trust (ACT) is an accredited non-profit land trust working to protect the natural, historic, scenic and recreational resources across North Central Florida. ACT protects land through purchase, donation, and conservation easements primarily in 16 counties. We serve our community and home by protecting and preserving natural spaces, creating opportunities to interact with the environment, and teaching the next generation through environmental education programs About Project S.H.E.L.L.Project S.H.E.L.L. (Simulating Habitat Experiences of Living Loggerheads) was funded by a grant awarded from the Sea Turtle Grants Program (STGP) and was made possible with assistance from the After School Film Institute in partnership with Yellow Wood Immersive Media and Meta Oculus Launchpad. The Sea Turtle Grants Program is funded from proceeds from the sale of the Florida Sea Turtle License Plate. Learn more at www.helpingseaturtles.org. While the event activities are FREE, there is an admission charge for the Science Up Close: Incredible Insects and Butterfly Rainforest exhibits.
