Tybee Island Marine Science Center Podcast

Investigators, Educators, and Coastal Georgia Heroes

Welcome to our introductory episode - recorded just steps away from the ocean, and on location at the magnificent Tybee Island Marine Science Center. Join us as we explore the innerworkings of Tybee Island Marine Science Center and the pristine beauty of coastal Georgia’s dynamic barrier islands. Meet the team behind the magic of the Marine Science Center, including Chantal Audran, Executive Director and fearless leader of TIMSC, who has developed programs ranging from bringing inner city kids to the beach to designing and maintaining the life support systems for the Marine Science Center’s live animal exhibits. You’ll also meet Beth Armstrong, the Operations Director who has grown with the center for the past 13 years, and learn about her passion to facilitate connections between people and her beloved Georgia coast. And Allison Williford Caldwell, Program Director, who strives to ensure visitors leave with a greater understanding and passion for coastal Georgia, the ocean, and all its inhabitants. You’ll also meet the five permanent residents at the center (don’t say we didn’t warn you when you fall in love with Charlie, Eastern Box Turtle!).
Join us on this exciting journey as we learn more about Tybee Marine Science Center’s mission to cultivate a responsible stewardship for coastal Georgia’s natural resources through education, conservation, and research.
