About

We are back to the time of year when the winter storms do their damage. Creatures that should be swimming around in warm tropical waters suddenly get blown south and washed up on beaches around Perth. Sea turtles that end up so far south will not survive unless they receive sustained care.

Naragebup is one of only three Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Centres in WA. Our dedicated volunteers have nursed many previous turtles back to health so that they can be released after a year or more up around Ningaloo reef.

Please join us for a talk and:
1. Learn about marine turtles in WA coastal waters.
2. Find out how we rescue and rehabilitate them.
3. Discover how you can help to protect these creatures.
4. Meet Odyssius and Stumpy, our two recent arrivals.

Please note: as the turtles have only just arrived at the Centre any access to the turtles is subject to their state of health on the day. So far they are doing well and we will care for them the best we possibly can!
