NYTTS Meetings in 2025 After the pandemic, we began scheduling in-person meetings again in February 2024, when we held our first meeting at Prime Produce on West 54th Street.

The SUBMERGE Marine Science Festival 2025
Held Saturday, May 17 at Hudson River Park’s Pier 83. NYTTS members present to field turtle questions were Matt Hybel, Kathy Rumpler, Anita and Allen Salzberg, and Frank Schneider. Turtles included one juvenile and two full-grown Alligator Snapping Turtles, two Eastern Box Turtles, a Diamondback Terrapin, a Wood Turtle, and a Musk Turtle. A Burmese Brown Tortoise represented a non-native species. The slide show below of photos taken by Anita Salzberg are largely self-explanatory as they focus on the children’s and adults’ fascination and reactions to the animals they encountered.
