Turtles found injured or sick in the wild are brought here to receive medical attention. They are kept in open-top holding tanks that have viewing windows on the sides while they are treated for injuries and infections. When the turtles have returned to full health they are released back into the wild.

This facility offers an opportunity for the public to observe turtles of many species close up and to learn more about them. Staff are knowledgeable, friendly and eager to pass on information about these fascinating creatures. There is an adjoined education center and giftshop.

The centre also is involved in conservation, ensuring the security of spawning turtles and their eggs at nearby Juno Beach and in operating the Juno Beach Pier. The Loggerhead Marinelife Center is agreat place to observe and learn more about wild turtles. I highly recommend a visit. Admission is by donation.
