(WNCT) \u2014 More than 100 children gathered at the New Bern-Craven Public Library to learn about sea turtles during an educational program hosted by the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Participants learned how to identify various turtle species native to North Carolina. The event also featured two live turtles that allowed children to interact closely with the animals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Turtles are one of those animals that no matter where you live in North Carolina, you can find them in your backyard,&#8221; said Nicole Warren, outreach coordinator. &#8220;And so by getting to see some of these live turtles up close today, some of our animal ambassadors, we&#8217;re hoping to inspire some appreciation for this amazing species.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Each child got a free book called &#8220;Turtle, turtle, watch out!&#8221; about the dangers the creatures face in the wild, and how humans can help with wildlife and ocean conservation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc.
