Just call our Customer Service Center at (843) 577-FISH (3474), and we’ll make sure you can share all the fun with general admission tickets!

Supplies for Patient Care

Running a sea turtle hospital not only takes compassionate veterinary care, expert sea turtle biologists and plenty of adaptive patient tanks, but it also takes lots (and lots) of supplies. If your loved one has a heart for sea turtle rehabilitation, you can donate supplies to the Sea Turtle Care Center from our Amazon Wish List in their name! From microscope slides and bleach to towels and enrichment items, every gift truly makes a difference.
