The Marine Environment Education Center is dedicated to Sea Turtle Conservation and to educating visitors about South Florida’s outstanding and unique coastal environment. Visitors to the center will have the opportunity to meet Captain, the resident sea turtle and learn all about her journey to the center after being injured by a boat. Try to schedule your visit to coincide with Captain’s feeding time at 3.30pm each day. The center also hosts regular special events, lectures and hatchling releases, when the public are invited to come and watch new hatchlings as they make their perilous journey from nest to ocean.
