This leatherback sea turtle wont actually be going anywhere.  It’s part of the MLML Marine Ops Open House display!  You’re looking into the bow of the Sheila B., one of MLML’s research vessels.  The bow of the Sheila B. is a door that can drop down, a great feature for capturing leatherback sea turtles and bringing them aboard for research purposes.

Be sure to come on by Open House this year to see what Marine Ops has in store for you.

MLML Open House is Saturday, April 30 & Sunday, May 1.
