Through an engaging and informative program about our figurative footprint in the ocean, the non-profit hospital educates the public to think twice about our actions and their repercussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But not only that!&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.turtlehospital.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Turtle Hospital <\/a>rescues injured sea turtles everywhere around the Keys, be it because they ingested hooks, because they damaged their shell in a boat collision, or because they got caught in fishing nets. They&#8217;ve rescued and rehabilitated over 1000 sea turtles since their opening in 1989!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good to know: they frequently release rehabilitated turtles back into the sea.
