I Snorkeled With Turtle Scientists at Silver Springs State Park

SUPPORT THE FLORIDA SPRINGS INSTITUTE BY DONATING HERE https://floridaspringsinstitute.app.n... A HUGE thank you to the Florida Springs Institute for trusting me to tell the story of their ongoing turtle research at Silver Springs! Also, thank you to Bill Hawthorne, as well as FSI's partnering organizations - Silver Springs State Park, FDEP, and FWC. Thanks for watching, everyone! This is probably the biggest YouTube project I have undertaken so far. Drop a comment if you enjoyed the vid - hopefully I'll be able to do more aquatic science related snorkeling adventures in the future :) In addition to being a turtle scientist, Bill is also an awesome underwater photographer. Check out some of his work here!   / billhawthornephotography   All work shown in this video was carried out under FDEP permit 10102510 and FWC permit LSSC-23-00327. 00:00 Intro/Prep 02:10 The Headspring 04:20 Turtle Time 13:24 Turtle Data 18:04 Turtle Release 21:02 Protecting Florida Springs 24:28 Outro #floridasprings #underwater #snorkeling #turtles #wildlifescience
