We are thrilled to share with you that our Sea Turtle Healing Center is gearing up to release its 200th sea turtle! Sub-adult green sea turtle Hope is set to be returned to the ocean on Wednesday, January 25 at 11:30 a.m. at Lori Wilson Park in Cocoa Beach.

Following successful rehabilitation journeys at our Sea Turtle Healing Center, we plan to return juvenile green sea turtles LJ and Grindylow to the ocean at Lori Wilson Park in Cocoa Beach on Thursday, December 29.

Two sea turtles will be returned to the ocean in Cocoa Beach on November 23 after successful rehabilitation stints at our Sea Turtle Healing Center.

Our Sea Turtle Healing Center is even better equipped to rehabilitate sea turtles thanks to a grant that allowed us to purchase a new piece of veterinary equipment called an electroporator.

Join us on October 25 to wish sea turtles Jackal and Pandemonium well as they return to the ocean!

Our Sea Turtle Healing Center doesn’t shy away from seeking out innovative science-based treatments for their patients, from raw honey to leeches. The Healing Center team recently tried a new-to-them treatment on a new patient: maggots! 

In the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, more than 200 baby sea turtles were brought to our Sea Turtle Healing Center for care.

We recently released a green sea turtle named Speedy who spent about five months being rehabilitated at our Sea Turtle Healing Center.
