Help the Loggerheads

A sea turtle lies on a towel-covered table while three people, wearing gloves, attend to it; one woman uses a handheld device to examine the turtle’s face in a clinical setting.

With a record number of threatened loggerhead sea turtle strandings occurring on the Texas coast this year, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and local partners are urging citizens to report any turtles seen on the beaches or shorelines so that they can be rescued, transported, and cared for by Service-permitted rehabilitation facilities, like the Texas State Aquarium.
