Turtle Hospital

Reef HQ Aquarium is building a dedicated facility, where sick and injured marine turtles can be cared for and rehabilitated. Turtle hospital will play a key role in treating acute and chronic ailments and rehabilitate turtles so they can be released back to the Ocean.

Reef HQ is currently rehabilitating turtles within a makeshift capacity and welcomes, contributions to ensure construction of a facility that will enable the best possible care for marine turtles, ultimately influencing their survival as a species.

It is expected the hospital will be built by the 1 July 2009 and will provide short, medium and in some cases long term care. The hospital will be built at the Aquarium, utilising environmental best practice to ensure a minimal carbon footprint.

The new facility will provide visitors with an opportunity to see and learn about the plight of marine sea turtles, through educational talks and guided tours of the hospital.
