Great place to visit where you can seewatch Sea Turtles as they recuperate from the many injuries they receive in the many waterways and canals in the area. They are located at 14200 US Highway 1, Juno Beach, Florida. Admission is free but they love donations!!
Each Sea Turtle is given a name and you can read what happened to the turtle and what treatment is being administered.
For over three decades, Loggerhead Marinelife Center (LMC) has been committed to the rehabilitation of sick and injured sea turtles. LMC’s advanced hospital, founded by The Gordon & Patricia Gray Family, is one of the leading facilities in the state and a prime resource for sea turtle rehabilitation.
It features a surgical suite, upgraded x-ray room, blood work lab, endoscope, and ultrasound – allowing numerous sea turtles to be examined and treated at LMC.
Their treatment protocol is from rescue to release – which means that sea turtle patients are released as soon as they are medically cleared. If a patient is deemed non-releasable, it will be transferred to a different facility.
All of the sea turtle patients on campus are actively receiving treatment with the ultimate goal to allow each rehabilitated sea turtle back into the ocean as quickly as possible.
