Please like and share to spread the word! Many people are putting sea turtles back into the ocean.#1 Rule—If you happen to find sea turtles on the beach, do not put them back into the ocean. They do not have the energy or instinct to swim back out to the Sargasso Sea. Please call our hotline, and we may instruct you to hold them until we arrive or ask you to bring them to a drop-off location.Hotlines:Brevard County - 321-206-0646Other Florida counties - 888-404-3922This week is not a normal week. We are getting giant mats of Sargassum with very young turtles washing onto the beaches. The Sargassum is where young turtles live for a decade or more. The Sargassum was broken up and spread out from the recent hurricanes, and then the strong easterly flow of wind pushed those mats towards the coast like a conveyor belt, dropping Sargassum and baby turtles all over our beaches.Sea turtle hatchlings only have the instinct and energy to swim out to the Sargassum once; they cannot do it again. If you put the small, dehydrated, and lethargic turtles in the ocean right now, they will likely drown. Rehab and then a boat ride out far offshore is their best chance, and what we can do for them if you call our hotline. Please also remember that handling sea turtles is a felony, and if you’re going to pick one up, you must call our hotline to ensure that it is legal. ... See MoreSee Less
