KAREN BEASLEY SEA TURTLE RESCUE & REHABILITATION CENTER

KBSTRRC began with the Topsail Turtle Project, organized by Karen Beasley to preserve and protect sea turtle nests, nesting females, and hatchlings on the 26 miles of coastline on Topsail Island. The Sea Turtle Hospital provides rehabilitation services for sick and injured sea turtles. The three species of turtles primarily taken care of at the center are loggerheads, greens, and Kemp’s ridleys. The Sea Turtle Hospital is staffed primarily by volunteers organized into daily shifts.
