Interning with the NMLC: red-bellied cooter release
As a summer intern not only is the Cape new to me, but working one on one with turtles is as well. Last week I was able to participate in a red-bellied cooter release where 150 hatchlings, raised through the Head Start program, were released in Burrage Pond in Hanson, MA. When I was told […]

Looking Back on a Great Summer
Many of our visitors tell us when they come in that the National Marine Life Center is a place that they have driven by many times but never been inside. Like them, I knew very little about the treasures that lay inside the “big building with the whales on it.” That was, of course, until […]
Farewell Fabulous Interns!
