Sea Turtles at the STAR Center 🐢 Sea turtles at the STAR Center have a lot going for them—topnotch food, excellent veterinary care, and dedicated volunteers always ready to lend a hand! Right now, six juvenile green sea turtles are calling the STAR Center home until they’re healthy enough to be reunited with sunshine and salt water. This important work has inspired generous and longlasting support from the community. For the seventh year in a row, second grade students at Perquimans Central School crafted and sold handmade bracelets throughout their school to raise funds for the STAR Center. Their continued dedication and creativity have made a real impact on the care we’re able to provide.
🌊 Our current patients include:
• Street Corn – A juvenile green sea turtle recovering from coldstunning and significant frostbite on the shell.
• Professor X – Receiving treatment for coldstunning and joint lesions.
• Penguin – Recovering from coldstunning complicated by a severe joint infection.
• Two unnamed juveniles – Both stranded near Pine Knoll Shores, arriving with heavy barnacle loads and overall weakness.
Join us and meet the STARS here! See you soon.
