Florida’s wide variety of habitats support 28 of the 62 (45.2%) species known to occur in the United States, the most turtle-rich country. Significant habitat diversity and species richness make Florida a chelonian hotspot and critical to the conservation of many species. Attendees will learn basic identification techniques that will enhance their ventures into the field.
