Sea Turtle Tracks: A Talk by Marine Mammals of Maine

The Rockland Public Library is pleased to present this recording of our event with Marine Mammals of Maine.

The waters off the coast of Maine are rich in diversity of marine life. This includes sea turtles. Join Marine Mammals of Maine (MMoME) to gain a basic understanding of sea turtle biology, ecology, conservation, and the threats that sea turtles face in Maine and globally. MMoME volunteer Jessica discusses the concept of One Health in regards to the ocean and how sea turtles are connected to the work they do with marine mammals.

Marine Mammals of Maine is a non-profit organization dedicated to marine mammal and sea turtle response, rescue, care, research, and education. With two staff and a dedicated volunteer team, MMoME provides expert standing response across roughly 2,500 miles of Maine’s coastline (including islands), covering the geographic area of Kittery to Rockland. Providing both short- and long-term rehabilitative care and operating a 24/7 marine mammal and sea turtle reporting hotline, MMoME is a compassionate source of care for Maine’s marine wildlife.
