Our Mission

Provide specialized care for sick and injured sea turtles, while promoting conservation, awareness and action.

Our Vision

 Recognizing the pressing demand for sea turtle rehabilitation care that surpasses the existing permitted facilities and individuals, we aspire to provide an essential solution that meets the urgent and ever-growing sea turtle conservation need in this region. Our vision is to establish a sea turtle rehabilitation center along the southeast coastline of Florida, primarily serving the coastal counties of northern Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Martin.

Our Values

At STCCS, our core values are rooted in compassion and dedication to the well-being of sea turtles and the marine ecosystem. We are committed to integrity, transparency and collaboration, ensuring that our actions reflect the highest ethical standards and that we work hand-in-hand with partners and communities to achieve our mission.
