Like us, you love sea turtles, and you can protect what you love by becoming a Sea Turtle Guardian.

Every stage of the turtles’ journey home, from the moment they arrive at the hospital to the moment they return to the ocean, would not be possible without the support of many, including you. The preservation of these charismatic animals is critical to the health of the marine ecosystem.
