A Big Thank You Summer Visitors for your continued support. 
See you next year.

The Sea Turtle Hospital
 is now closed for the winter.

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's............
PEPPER!!!!!!!

Pepper, dubbed the Shamu of Topsail Beach during his recovery because of his engaging personality, has found his way to another sea turtle hospital, in Marathon Key, Florida.  Looks like his old floatation problems are back.  He has been out in the world for seven years since we last saw him.
Visit the Turtle Hospital to see him again.
The Turtle Hospital  Marathon, FL
They have named him OD, but he'll always be PEPPER to us.

BALLOONS and TURTLES don't mix

Discarded balloons drift into the water

   and are mistaken for food by sea turtles and other marine animals.
Shackleford III was lucky to be able to pass these ingested pieces of balloons.
