Suggested learning outline
We hope that this website gives you information you can use to help the Pacific Green Sea Turtles and other animals in your environment. Our Overview page contains a site map and information about the research-based rationale used when designing this website, and starts the step-by-step guided exploration of this website. You are invited to explore all parts of the website as you choose, but here are the steps that we recommend:
- Learn about turtles! Explore our page on the Pacific Green Sea Turtles.
- The sea turtles we observe are located within an Estuary at the mouth of the San Gabriel River. Learn why estuaries are important for marine animals on our Estuaries Page
- The San Gabriel River is different from many rivers - for one, you'll notice that both sides have high, artificial, rocky banks (called levees) and the south bank has a paved bicycle path. It is a part of the Los Angeles urban ocean environment. Learn more about the San Gabriel River and the Urban Ocean.
- Try your hand at a citizen science observation session (coming soon)
- Add your voice to our VoiceThread
- Send us feedback on the program
- Apply to become a Citizen Scientist with the San Gabriel River Pacific Green Sea Turtle Monitoring Project.
