PhD sea turtle researcher Natalie Dos Santos hosted a turtle talk in Scottburgh recently.

She and her team visited Crocworld Adventure & Conservation Centre and kept guests enthralled with an informative presentation.

Natalie has spent the past eight years working with sea turtles, and during her presentation, she outlined the ecological role of turtles on reefs and the work being done to better understand their origins, feeding behaviour and movements.

She also shared underwater footage of turtles being tagged, and the findings of a study based at Aliwal Shoal Marine Protected Area on the KZN South Coast.

Overall, everyone enjoyed the talk.
