Sea Turtle Hospital

The Sea Turtle Hospital opened in October 2015 to provide rehabilitation, education and research for sea turtle conservation in Northeast Florida. The hospital rehabilitates debilitated and injured sea turtles, and, once healthy and cleared by the veterinarian, releases them back to their habitat. In its first year (October 2015-October 2016), the hospital rehabilitated and released 10 sea turtles. IF YOU SEE A TURTLE ON THE BEACH OR STRUGGLING IN THE SURF, PLEASE CALL THE FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION AT 1-888-404-3922.
