The public can now help marine life by adopting a sea turtle through the Loggerhead Marinelife Center’s Adopt a Sea Turtle program. This unique program helps to benefit further research, rehabilitation projects, and the continuous care for the injured, sick, and endangered sea turtles housed at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center.

The Loggerhead Marinelife Center is a non-profit organization located in Juno Beach. The center’s mission is to help protect marine life and to help promote ocean conservation. The center rescues injured or endangered sea turtles to bring to their sea turtle hospital for further care and diagnosis before releasing back into the ocean.

Through the Adoption program medication, food and tank maintenance, research and hospital care are provided to the sea turtles to help with their treatment. Once a turtle is adopted, the center will send updates of all the sea turtles housed and can even track their progress.

The Adoption Program offers seven packages to choose from ranging in price from $40 dollars to $250 dollars. All Adoption Packages include a personalized adoption certificate, a photo of the sea turtle, and a Loggerhead Marinelife Center Newsletter subscription. Other gifts and items are available in the higher priced packages.

The Adoption process can either be done online or by visiting the Loggerhead Marinelife Center. The Marinelife Center is open seven days a week from 10 am to 5 pm and is located at 14200 US Highway 1 in Juno Beach.
