Happy National Recycling Day!?? Our conservation team is all about keeping oceans clean and healthy, and recycling plays a major part in that. To date, we’ve removed an incredible 39,476 pounds of marine debris from our beaches! Just this October alone, we cleared 698 pounds of debris. with plastic foam, hard plastic, and bottle caps being the biggest culprits. Every little action adds up, and here’s how we’re making a difference: ?? Weekly Saturday Beach Cleanups ?? Cigarette Litter Pollution Prevention ?? Monofilament Recovery & Recycling ?? Ballon Bans Recycling is important, but preventing pollution is essential to protect Florida's turtles and marine life. Choose reusable items like cloth bags, water bottles, and lunch boxes over single-use plastics. Together, we can create waves of change for a cleaner, healthier tomorrow! #nationalrecyclingday #pollutionprevention #lmc #junobeachfl #beachcleanup #cleanoceans

Here's to another season of discovery and conservation!?? Sea turtle nesting season has come to a close, and we’re excited to share that we counted nearly 15,000 nests in our survey area – 14,951 to be exact! We also made incredible strides in research, studying how nest temperatures influence the health and sex of these amazing creatures.

It’s that time of year!?? We're starting to see washbacks, which are young sea turtles that hatched earlier this year and got swept back to shore by storms and strong winds. These little ones often arrive lethargic, dehydrated, and covered in algae and barnacles. Our hospital staff will provide exams, fluids, and antibiotics as needed. Once they’ve regained their strength, we’ll give them a boat ride back to the sargassum! If you spot a washback, please contact FWC at 888-404-3922. #loggerheadmarinelifecenter #lmc #conservation #marineconservation #seaturtlehospital #junobeach #washback
