Chelonia Wildlife Rehabilitation & Release

Chelonia specializes in the rehabilitation of birds and reptiles, including sea snakes and sea turles. Chelonia provides the only permanent, no-commercial rehabilitation facility catering to sea turtles in Western Australia which represents 1/3rd of the continent.

Chelonia generally admits greens, hawksbills, and flatbacks, although several loggerheads and one olive ridley have been admitted over the years.

Most patients admitted are suffering from floating syndrome and the release rate is around 70-80%.

Description:

The SCISTP integrates "Conservation, Research, and Education" in Coastal Georgia to understand nesting ecology of loggerhead sea turtles. Fourteen K-12 Georgia teachers are trained annually in an eight-day Island residency with total immersion in sea turtle conservation. These teachers carry new experiences, knowledge, pedagogy, and technology back into their classrooms for teaching annual cohorts of students. This outreach has impacted over 250,000 school children in Georgia.
