Sea Turtle Inc. Breaks Record for Most Patients Treated in a Single Year

South Padre Island, TX – December 10, 2024 – Sea Turtle Inc. is proud to announce a record breaking achievement in its mission to protect sea turtles through conservation, medical care, applied research, and education.

“Thanks to the unwavering dedication of our staff and volunteers, 2024 has marked a historic milestone, with a record-breaking 94 patients receiving rehabilitation—setting the highest treatment number in our organization's history!" says Wendy Knight, Chief Executive Officer at Sea Turtle Inc.

This milestone highlights the growing need for sea turtle conservation efforts, as well as the 
unwavering commitment of the Sea Turtle Inc. team. Behind every patient treated is a story of hope, healing, and the critical role of community support.

“This record is a testament to the hard work and passion of our team, as well as the generosity of our donors,” said Wendy Knight, Chief Executive Officer of Sea Turtle Inc.

Sea Turtle Inc responded to the largest number of patients in history while operating in a 
makeshift hospital tent, as they worked to conclude construction on the largest fully enclosed sea turtle hospital in the world.  “Responding to this patient load in the heat of Texas summer in an outdoor temporary hospital was challenging, but shows the unwavering dedication of our staff to do what is needed to save these amazing animals” says Wendy.

Sea Turtle Inc. relies on the support of donors to provide resources like medical equipment, food, and rehabilitation facilities for injured and ill sea turtles. As the organization looks toward the future, continued contributions will ensure that every sea turtle in need receives the care it deserves.
