With today's storm, swell and wind that will likely intensify through the night, please keep an eye on our beaches for any stranded turtles. If you do find a turtle, please do not put them back in the cold water as they will not survive or leave them unattended on the beach. Sea turtles and especially the hatchlings (which are the ones we get a lot here) are only found up north in the warmer waters. A beached sea turtle in here is either cold-stunt, sick, injured or all the above. Place them in a box or container, be wary they can bite, and do not add any water or attempt to feed them. You can hand them directly to us Naragebup - Rockingham Regional Environmental Centre, or the other turtle rescue centres Dolphin Discovery Centre in Bunbury or AQWA in Hillarys or call the Wildlife Helpline on 9474 9055.

Sea turtles, especially the loggerhead turtle, are an endangered species so every individual is rescued for rehabilitation and release counts!

Thank you all and stay safe! 🐢 🌊

🔊 Volume up to hear a cobbler's kisses 🔊.

Our sweet Poppy, the estuary cobbler, loves seafood and homemade sushi. You can see this beautiful, but venomous old cobbler in the marine pond along with other pond mates. If you want to see the marine feedings done by our amazing volunteers, then come to the centre between 10:00-10:30 am. Or come and see our other wonderful creatures, touch tables, gardens, and nature reserves. We are open Thursday to Sunday, 10:00am to 3:00pm🙂.

With the first cold front on its way it is time to watch the beaches for washed sea turtles. If you do find one, please do not leave them unattended or put them back in the cold water as they will not survive. Sea turtles, especially hatchlings live further north like Exmouth where the waters are much warmer. Those who were unfortunately drifted south and end up beached are generally sick, cold-stunned, injured, or are all the above. Carefully take them into a box, container, or towel (watch their heads, some can still bite) and take them to the nearest Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation centre such as AQWA in Hilary's, us Naragebup - Rockingham Regional Environmental Centre, or the Dolphin Discovery Centre in Bunbury, or call the Wildcare Helpline on 08 9474 9055.

We rescue and rehabilitate them under our care for 12 to 18 months until they are fit enough for release back in their home waters off Coral Bay.
Thank you all🙏🏽
