Our beaches are known for their beauty and as nesting grounds for sea turtles. But on Friday, October 11, instead of turtles, thousands of pieces of Styrofoam washed ashore, littering the beach. Styrofoam, a major contributor to plastic pollution, can take more than 500 years to decompose, releasing harmful chemicals in the process. Despite this, the community came together, collecting 267 bags of Styrofoam and five bags of other debris, totaling 129.5 pounds at this week’s Juno Beach cleanup. Our beaches still need help. Join our self-guided cleanups every Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and keep cleaning whenever possible. #oceanconservation #lmc #beachcleanup #pollution #loggerheadmarinelifecenter #junobeach

Caring and nurturing our patients is our mission! ???? Check out Falafel! A subadult loggerhead found floating near the Jensen Beach Causeway. Falafel had a front flipper amputation and a large hook located in the mouth. Their current treatment is antibiotics, iron, and wound care. #lmc #loggerheadmarinelifecenter #loggerhead #falafel #seaturtleconservation

Meet Moose, the tough-as-shell subadult loggerhead sea turtle! ???? After being found by Inwater Research Group with a boat strike injury, Moose underwent surgery with Dr. Barron who repaired his carapace with screws, wire, and a bone plate. Now, he's on the road to recovery with pain meds and antibiotics. ?? Show Moose some love! You can support Loggerhead Marinelife Center by “adopting” a sea turtle patient, like Moose, starting at just $40. Your adoption directly benefits the continued care and treatment of our sick and injured sea turtles. #lmc #loggerheadmarinelifecenter #loggerhead #moose #boatstrike #seaturtleconservation ?? :@marisamarulli
