Mysteries of the deep will be revealed on Saturday, October 8 when Kara
Dodge will talk about her research tracking leatherback sea turtles.
Dodge, with a team of local scientists, fishermen, and a spotter pilot,
placed satellite tags on 20 leatherbacks, allowing her to follow the
turtles' spectacular long-distance migration from Cape Cod to the
tropics and learn about their regional movements and habitat use.
