Sea Turtle Hospital at Whitney Lab

The Sea Turtle Hospital at Whitney Laboratory is dedicated to the conservation of threatened sea turtles in Northeast Florida through rehabilitation, research, and education. As the only university-affiliated facility in Florida treating turtles for Fibropapillomatosis, it serves as a vital resource for understanding and combating this global disease affecting sea turtle populations.

Embedded within a marine research lab, the hospital not only provides care for injured turtles but also conducts significant scientific research to advance the field of marine biology. The facility actively engages in various educational initiatives, fostering lifelong learning opportunities for students and the surrounding community.
