GEORGIA SEA TURTLE CENTER

The Georgia Sea Turtle Center celebrated 15 years of education, rehabilitation, and research in 2022, emphasizing the importance of its mission since opening its doors in 2007. The milestone year for the Center also included the release of its 1,000th sea turtle patient, patrol teams recording the State of Georgia’s first sea turtle nest and hatchling of the season, and surpassing prior nest records from the early 2000’s. As Georgia’s only sea turtle rehabilitation and education facility, the Georgia Sea Turtle Center has remained an integral part of not only Jekyll Island’s conservation efforts but also Georgia’s and beyond.
