Public Sea Turtle Release

Escaping the Cold

We have had some very special visitors to the hospital recently. In the beginning of January The Turtle Hospital welcomed 15 critically endangered Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles. They were rescued from the cold waters off Massachusetts and needed help warming up. What better place to do that than the beautiful, sunny Florida Keys! After recovering at The Hospital they were able to be released back in to the wild on February 9, 2017.
