You can support Loggerhead Marinelife Center by “adopting” a sea turtle patient starting at just $40. Your adoption directly benefits the continued care and treatment of our sick and injured sea turtles.
As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of our supporters. You can support our mission financially, by volunteering, or by spreading awareness.
Loggerhead Marinelife Center's Unwrap the Wave Initiative allows for students and community members to get into the "spirit" of conservation by collecting their candy wrappers from Halloween and recycling them.
