There are only seven species of sea turtle worldwide, with six found in Australian waters. Our facility has been developed as a partnership with the Shark Bay Department of Parks and Wildlife (DPaW), with eight turtles being rescued by locals around Shark Bay and the wider Coral Coast Region (Exmouth) in 2014/15. These animals are rescued, rehabilitated and then released within Shark Bay. The person who rescues the turtle is the one who gets to name it.
