This presentation is given in partnership with the Spring Run Eco Club. Troubled Waters: A Turtle's Tale explores the impact of human behavior on our environment - as seen through the lens of one of South Florida's most beloved and fragile underwater creatures - the sea turtle. This one-hour film takes a critical look at the effects of global warming, water pollution and our "throw-away" plastic lifestyle on this keystone species, and inevitably ourselves. At the center of Troubled Waters is a dedicated team of biologists, researchers and conservationists. Often struggling to remain optimistic for the future, they pour their hearts and souls into saving a species with a past as old as the dinosaur. While education, political will, technology and science offers hope, changing human behavior is crucial. What challenges confront the largest resource of life on earth? What solutions and actions can be taken to help turn back the tide?
Purpose: Screen the film Troubled Waters and participate in a group discussion about the film
