🌊💙 Happy World Oceans Day! 💙🌊

Today, we celebrate the ocean that connects us all and the incredible animals that call it home.

Through the Gulfarium CARE Center, our team works every day to rescue, rehabilitate, and release injured and endangered sea turtles along the Gulf Coast.

This year, we reached an incredible milestone: 1,000 sea turtles successfully rehabilitated since 2015!

On this World Oceans Day, we invite you to join us in protecting our blue planet. Whether it's reducing plastic use, disposing of fishing line properly, supporting conservation efforts, or simply sharing the message of ocean stewardship, every action makes a difference.

Here's to the next 1,000 sea turtles and a healthier ocean for all. 🐢🌊
