We're saying farewell to our Class of 2024! 🐢🎓 Our team released the recent residents of the Sea Turtle Center back into the wild off Jekyll Island, Georgia, and we couldn't be more proud of their recovery while at our facility. We're also incredibly excited to announce our Turtle Tracker – a way for us to track five of the loggerhead turtles that were tagged with special SPOT 375 wildlife tracking tags. We are thankful for the work done by New England Aquarium, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, TURTLES FLY TOO, and Georgia Sea Turtle Center to help coordinate and execute every step of the rescue and rehabilitation. Their work is invaluable to conservation and we are thoroughly grateful for them! We'll have more coming soon about the tracking tags, so be sure to follow along on all of our social media pages!
