Loggerhead Marinelife Center’s Guided Tour allows visitors to get a guided experience of our outdoor sea turtle hospital and meet our patients.
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.
We offer four society levels, including the Gordon Gray Circle and the Blue Friends Society. Explore all your options.
Loggerhead Marinelife Center offers exciting and rewarding career opportunities and internships.
