Real estate buyers, sellers and owners in Volusia County, if you're not familiar with the Daytona Beach area, more specifically the town of Ponce Inlet which is just south of Daytona Beach, you may find lots of interesting facts in this post and in the embedded links.

I've previously posted articles about the Marine Science Center in Ponce Inlet, FL, and their program for rehabilitating and releasing washback green sea turtles.

Other Ponce Inlet posts included how to Adopt a Sea Turtle Nest to preserve the baby sea turtles during nesting seasons. In that particular post are links to information on Florida's Vanishing Wetlands, Aquifers and Ecosystem.

I've also written about my childhood memories of the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse. There are some breathtaking photos in this one.

I have another post about Ponce Inlet participating in Florida Heritage Month. And of course I have a post of Ponce Inlet real estate.

But those are all posts about past experiences, events and happenings. This post is even more exciting because this Saturday, April 19, (weather permitting) is Turtle Day 2008!

This Saturday from 10:00-3:00 the Ponce Inlet Marine Science Center will have educational lectures, a live butterfly exhibit, kite flying, children's crafts and hot dogs.

If the weather permits, this Saturday at 3:00 p.m., a 175 pound rehabilitated Loggerhead Sea Turtle by the name of Old Boots will be released at Winter Haven Park. Old Boots has been at the Ponce Inlet Marine Science Center since November. When Old Boots first arrived at the Center, he was suffering from the effects of Red Tide. He was anemic, had low blood sugar, and an intestinal impaction. It took 2 months of tube feeding before Old Boots began to eat on his own. And that was after treatment with antibiotics, fluid therapy and medications!

The Marine Science Center is located at 100 Lighthouse Drive, Ponce Inlet, FL. There is much more to enjoy at this fantastic environmental learning center. Turtle Day 2008 should be a great day for people of all ages to enjoy. Visit the web site to see the schedule of events, and for regular daily hours. And visit the Ponce Inlet Marine Science Center as often as possible. There's always something to enjoy.
