Thank you to all who have joined us to support washback sea turtles cared for by the Sea Turtle Hospital staff each year by Adopting a Washback, each symbolically named! We are getting closer to our goal!
Post-hatchlings (washbacks) cannot get back to their ocean home by themselves- but don't worry we're here to help. When they are brought to the Sea Turtle Hospital, our staff and intern are busy caring for them. Just like all babies, our post-hatchling (washbacks) received around the clock care which includes multiple times a day feedings, daily exams and weight checks, and additional fluid therapy or medications if needed. We make sure that each baby receives the best care while with us to regain their strength and energy. Once ready they will all get a boat ride offshore back to their Sargassum habitat which is miles offshore. If you are interested in helping us help them, our adopt a washback campaign is running through Thursday, October 31st. By adopting a washback you are able to name one and help support essential supplies needed for their continued care. Our goal is to have 200 washbacks named!
