Education Team

The Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center conserves and protects all species of marine turtles, both in the water and on the beach. We accomplish this through the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of sick and injured sea turtles; public education regarding the plight of sea turtles and the threat of their extinction; and learning opportunities for students of biology, wildlife conservation, and veterinary medicine from around the world. A nonprofit organization, we view our work as a privilege and are honored to work with these magnificent creatures.

A dedicated group of individuals who can be called upon to support a variety of education program needs. This team will provide additional assistance, especially during times when multiple programs are scheduled simultaneously to ensure smooth delivery and strong participant experiences. In addition, the Education Team will promote open communication among educators, support continuous improvement of our programming, and help standardize content and delivery so that all programs maintain consistent quality regardless of who is teaching.
