Sea Turtle Rescue & Rehabilitation

Endangered sea turtles are often injured as a result of cold-strandings and other environmental disasters, as well as man-made injuries such as boat strikes or entanglement in nets and fishing line.

The Center for Conservation is one of only a few rehabilitation facilities authorized by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

With an emphasis on critical care and release back into the wild, The Florida Aquarium's full-time veterinary program and medical staff assist with turtle rehabilitation efforts nationwide and do everything they can to ensure the ongoing livelihood of these amazing creatures.
