Happy National Wildlife Day!🐢

Today, we are thankful for all of you who support our mission to protect endangered sea turtles and inspire ocean conservation.

National Wildlife Day was created to help raise awareness of endangered species and the importance of conservation. We appreciate all of you who share our stories, show up for our beach cleanups, donate to help our sea turtle patients, and advocate for habitat protection.

To celebrate sea turtles and remind us all what we are protecting, enjoy this photo of a wild hawksbill sea turtle from our friend and artist in residence, Deano Cook.

Have you met Beanie yet?👋

Beanie is a juvenile green sea turtle who was found entangled in a buoy line in the Indian River Lagoon near Wabasso. Beanie had surgery to remove a large tumor, and received a blood transfusion from Turtwig, a subadult green turtle here at LMC.

This feeling? Unbeatable.🐢

It's been more than a month since we released Pennywise, and we can't stop thinking about it! Thank you once again to everyone who showed up to support us and Penny as she returned home.

This is truly why we do what we do!

Nesting season is in full swing!🐢

So far during the 2025 nesting season, we have discovered 20,455 total nests on our monitored beach. Of this number, 262 are leatherback nests, 12,229 are loggerhead nests, and 7,964 are green nests.

If you see a sea turtle nesting, please remember to keep your distance, remain quiet, and minimize lighting.

Matcha is healing well!🍵

Matcha was found in early August with a severe entanglement injury and limited limb movement in the left front flipper. Despite valiant efforts from our team to try to restore circulation, the flipper required amputation. Matcha is healing, swimming, and showing great recovery. Don’t worry! Our team has seen good survival rates in three-flippered green turtles. Some have even been encountered nesting!

Don't be sad, Eeyore. You're in good hands.👐

Eeyore is showing more mobility and making improvements, but this little green turtle needed some extra care on arrival. Eeyore showed a type of paralysis on arrival and spent most days dry-docked in the hospital's indoor ICU, with supervised swim time floating in the kiddie pool. Eeyore tested negative for toxins related to algal blooms; their case is a bit of a mystery. The team is continuing to watch Eeyore closely and treating them with antibiotics, TPN (nutrition via IV), enemas, and physical therapy.
