About Bella
Species:
Hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) (Ei24-40)
Bella is an adult hawksbill found on Bath and Tennis Reef entangled in fishing line. Dr. Barron amputated her front right flipper on Monday. Current treatment is antibiotics.
Join us after hours for a lecture series featuring local scientists, conservationists, and photographers with brews!
Participants will learn basic techniques for fishing including knot tying, casting, fish handling, and proper catch-and-release techniques.
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 membership levels, as well as the Gordon Gray Circle of 100 and the Blue Friends Society. Explore all your options.
Loggerhead Marinelife Center offers exciting and rewarding career opportunities and internships.
