Ever wonder what happens when a sea turtle washes up on shore in New England, or how hundreds of sea turtles are cared for during mass casualty stranding events?
Since 1968 the New England Aquarium has helped thousands of sea turtles here at the Aquarium and during other emergency events around the U.S.
For sea turtles found sick or injured, returning to their ocean home isn’t possible right away.
These turtles become patients in our Sea Turtle Hospital and receive veterinary care until they regain optimal health and are strong enough to return to their natural habitat.
This evening’s lecture will highlight turtle rescues and the medical management of sea turtles ranging from giant leatherback turtles to emergency care and management during large scale events involving hundreds of sick or injured turtles.
