The Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust is pleased to invite you to a special community presentation on Tuesday evening, March 27th, featuring candidates for Long Beach’s 3rd Council District, as well as candidates for our own Board of Directors, and a special presentation about the Aquarium of the Pacific’s Citizens Sea Turtle Monitoring Project.
Our annual member meeting will begin with brief statements from 3rd District council candidates Gordana Kajer, Suzie Price, and Rob Savin, followed by our featured speaker, Cassandra Davis, who manages the Citizens Sea Turtle Monitoring Project for the Aquarium of the Pacific.
Did you know that the San Gabriel river is the northernmost known home to these unusual creatures? Working with governmental and non-profit partners, the Aquarium of the Pacific is learning more about this population of green sea turtles.
Citizen scientists with the Aquarium of the Pacific collect data on the sea turtles through monitoring and observation. The data collected is recorded and used to understand better how the sea turtles live and thrive in the San Gabriel River.

This data helps with tracking, protection, and monitoring efforts for this compelling species.
In addition to this presentation, we will also be using this occasion to conduct our Annual Board of Directors election, with four of our sitting directors seeking renewed terms. Before the featured presentation, all our Board candidates will take a moment to speak with us about their continuing commitment to Los Cerritos Wetlands, and members eligible to vote can cast ballots.
We hope you will join us for this occasion.
