Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Hospital

Mote's Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Hospital treats injured and sick sea turtles for release back into the wild. Visitors can observe turtles at various stages of recovery in outdoor rehabilitation pools while learning about the threats facing sea turtle populations.

All sea turtle species found in Florida waters are threatened or endangered. Mote has treated hundreds of turtles for boat strike injuries, fishing line entanglement, cold-stunning, and disease.
