About 65 sea turtles were released on Nov. 24 and 25, 2014. The turtles were brought to Sea Turtle, Inc. by STI staff the previous week from cold-stunning, which is a form of hypothermia sea turtles experience when the water temperature in the Laguna Madre drops below 55 degrees.

We need your help!
As you can see, our ICU is full! Sea Turtle, Inc. has responded to and begun treatment for three sea turtles in critical condition this week alone!

We have truly outgrown our current space, are crowded and overflowing at every turn. We rescue and rehabilitate all sick and injured sea turtles in the Rio Grande Valley, which can be difficult with limited space and resources. Part of our mission at Sea Turtle, Inc. is to educate our visitors and fans, and allow everyone to experience sea turtles up close, but our facility limits us.

We just launched an online campaign to help us begin construction on a new educational facility. This will enable us to grow and continue our efforts to protect endangered sea turtles!

If everyone can donate just $10 and share this fundraiser with three friends, we know with your help… we can grow!
