Our new turtle hospital ward

We are happy to report the opening of our new Sea Turtle Recovery Room. The recovery room features a 25-foot-long pool and a 15-foot-long pool. We have recently moved three of our rehabilitating turtles to the new tanks (Bruce the loggerhead, and Bubba and Casper the Kemp's ridleys). In these photos you can see Bruce and Bubba enjoying their spacious new home.

The recovery room is on display in the West Wing of the Aquarium, so stop by to visit our turtles!
