Happy Halloween from our sea turtle hatchlings!👻

We're open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. today. Come get spooky with the sea turtles.

Any hatchlings or washbacks undergoing treatment are marked with non-toxic pen to help ID them, ensuring they get the right medicines. In this case, one of our interns used their creative skills to make a few very easy to ID with spooky signs.
