Loggerhead Marinelife Center

Loggerhead Marinelife Center is proud to partner with the School District of Palm Beach County to bring immersive sea turtle experiences to public school first-grade students throughout the 2026–2027 school year.📚

Through this partnership, students will dive into lessons on sea turtle nesting, environmental stewardship and the important role we all play in protecting sea turtles and their habitats. 🌊

We’re excited to inspire the next generation of ocean stewards, one classroom at a time!🐢

Jurassic is back in the big blue! 🌊🐢

Today, Jurassic returned to the ocean after receiving specialized care at Loggerhead Marinelife Center, marking an exciting first for LMC!

Jurassic is the first adult male green sea turtle rehabilitation patient to be satellite tagged by our team. 📡 As part of a collaborative study, his tag will help us better understand how green turtles utilize the Atlantic for migration and foraging. Jurassic’s tracking data won’t be featured on the LMC tracking page, but stay tuned for updates on our blog, and for more information in a future research publication. 

Swim strong, Jurassic! 💙

What should you do if you come across an exposed sea turtle nest or washback hatchling? 🐢

Exposed sea turtle eggs should always be left untouched. Most exposed eggs are no longer viable, and in the rare case that one is, its best chance of survival is to remain undisturbed. If you find an exposed nest, call *FWC ( 1-888-404-FWCC ) and never touch or collect sea turtle eggs.

Washbacks are hatchlings that made it out to sea but were pushed back to shore by winds and currents, and are typically larger than newly hatched baby sea turtles. If you find a washback or disoriented hatchling, you may bring it to LMC’s designated hatchling rescue cooler. Transport hatchlings in a bucket with damp sand and no water.

Remember: eggs should never be brought to LMC!
