TLC is a JCU-affiliated club, established to connect students interested in marine turtles. Through monthly turtle talks and recurring social events, we aim to engage members with up-to-date research and conservation topics from around the world. In addition, we support local turtle research and conservation. We hope to open doors for members and inspire them to go through and take action!
