By The Sea Lecture Series

Join us after hours for a lecture series featuring local scientists, conservationists, and photographers with brews!

Unwrap The Waves

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.

Rehabilitation

From Rescue To Release

For over three decades, 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.

Our 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.

Live Sea Turtle Cam

Viewers from around the world can tune into our live web cam to check on the progress of sea turtle patients in our hospital tanks.

The Sea Turtle Hospital at Loggerhead Marinelife Center (LMC) is an active teaching hospital and sea turtle rehabilitation center. The hospital strives to treat, rehabilitate and release all sea turtle patients once they are medically cleared by LMC’s veterinarians. All sea turtle patients remain at the hospital for the duration of their medical treatment, no sea turtle patient is housed permanently.

This new camera is displaying our new ICU tanks which are not readily visible to public guests at the Center.
