Sea Turtle Rescue Center
—  Back from the Brink

Help Us Give Them the Brighter Future They Deserve.

Sea Turtles in the Middle East are facing extinction, and need our help, now. These beautiful turtles are constantly threatened by human negligence — getting caught by fishing hooks, plastic bags, and torpedo boats. They face strangulation, as well as the breaking and amputation of their limbs.

species of Sea Turtles in Israel are endangered

But with your support, we can build new facilities including a new rescue center to welcome injured turtles. You can have a direct impact on the center by also aiding in the construction of a new hospital and visitor center. This will allow the public to enjoy the center and be educated on the current state of sea turtles in the Mediterranean.

Our Sea Turtle Rescue Center:

Treats, rehabilitates, and releases over 160 injured Sea Turtles each year.

Returns over 70% of treated turtles back into the ocean.

Maintains a breeding site of up to 30 Sea Turtles at a time.

Relocates 95% of all unprotected turtle nests in Israel each year.

Has invented new treatment technologies, such as a cutting-edge buoyancy device for amputated sea turtles.

Invests in turtle biological and behavioral research.
