Small-Town sea Turles

The mission of the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, located in Surf City, NC, is to conserve and preserve all species of marine turtles, both in the water and on the beach. They accomplish this through the rescue, care and release of sick and injured sea turtles, public education regarding the plight of turtle populations and threat of their extinction, and learning opportunities for students of biology, wildlife conservation and veterinary medicine from around the world.  Nearly everyone involved in this operation volunteers their time.
