Thank you to all those that attended the SUBMERGE Marine Science Festival! Your energy, creative activities, and dynamic science outreach made it an incredibly enriching experience for attendees. It was the biggest SUBMERGE event to date, with over 8,500 people this year attending. Families learned about why turtles and tortoises are important and our conservation efforts to protect them. They got to hear turtle talks by our resident experts, feed tortoises, and learn about native turtles to the Hudson River - Diamondback terrapins and Snapping Turtles!
