Where the Sea Reveals its Secrets

Hurricane Helene Update We were incredibly lucky to be sparred from the brunt of Hurricane Helene. The lab sustained some damage, but nothing that we cannot fix! Our thoughts go out to the community affected. We are back open, but still working on repairing everything. Come visit today to help support our cause!

She is dehydrated and waiting for some x-rays but is getting all the care she needs. Thank you to the Miccosukee P.D. who helped rescue her along with the Turtle Mother for always watching over us!
