Ossabaw Island​

​Sea Turtle Ecology

​Learn about the barrier island ecosystem and relate the life cycle, migration, and nesting habits of the sea turtle to Georgia Performance Standards. This course is open to all educators K-12.

Of Georgia’s 13 barrier islands, none is more intriguing than Ossabaw, designated as a heritage preserve for both natural and historical significance. There is no bridge to the island nor a ferry service. Visits by boat must be scheduled for scientific or educational purposes. $495 includes three night’s lodging (in the restored clubhouse pictured below), meals, snacks, curriculum materials, and round trip boat ride from Savannah.

Earn 5 PLU’s

More information will be available when trips to Ossabaw are scheduled.
