This month we’re highlighting Plastic Free July as a key way to support our native Florida wildlife, including our iconic sea turtles. We’re taking a look back at some of our resilient sea turtle patients that have been severely impacted by plastic pollution.

Ready to go home, one of our sea turtle patients is! We’re sending green sea turtle Vader back to the ocean following a recent rehabilitation at our Sea Turtle Healing Center. 

We found Nemo! The green sea turtle, that is. After a 4-month rehabilitation at our Sea Turtle Healing Center, Nemo the sea turtle will be released!

On dry land, wintertime means flu and cold season. But the same may be true in the sea. During the colder months, sea turtles underwater may experience an uptick in illnesses, like pneumonia.

One of our newest green sea turtle patients, Monkey, recently underwent a life-saving procedure at our Sea Turtle Healing Center with some help from an old friend. 

We have some oh-so-sweet news: Cupcake the juvenile green sea turtle was privately released back to their ocean home after a nearly 3-month stay at our Sea Turtle Healing Center.
