Kudos to Marilyn!
Marilyn was honored at the 2010 NC Sea Turtle Permit Holder's meeting as the volunteer who logged the most number of volunteer hours in North Carolina. As
this year's Education Committee chair, Marilyn has been spreading the good word about sea turtle conservation to thousands. At schools, festivals, marathons and
beyond, Marilyn and her team has been seen everywhere this year. She has even traveled as far as Raleigh in these efforts.
