Piping Plovers

Kathy Parsons, Director of the Coastal Waterbird Program at Mass Audubon

Piping plovers migrate to and nest on Cape Cod beaches each summer.
Learn more about the courtship displays and nesting rituals, find out
what banding plovers in the Bahamas has taught us about migration
ecology, and discover how our local research efforts contribute to the
recovery of the piping plover population.

Leatherback Sea Turtles

Connie Merigo, Director of Marine Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation at
the New England Aquarium

Explore the unique natural abilities of the world's largest living
turtle, the leatherback sea turtle. Learn about the insights we have
gained into their distinctive behavior and anatomy through years of
research in Cape Cod Bay, Nantucket Sound and the northwest Atlantic
Ocean.

 

We hope to see you soon!


Best,

Amy
