Come help a sea turtle as if you were there!
Since 2022, Marineland has been offering an overview of its missions in its educational area.
For many years, Marineland and its Association have been involved, amongst other things, in the conservation of marine turtles through the ObstortueMed programme. In 2017, Marineland inaugurated the Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre (CRFS), which specialises in taking in sea turtles that have become stranded or found in difficulty off the coast of the Var and Alpes-Maritimes. This unique place in the region is unfortunately not accessible to the public. The facility is hosted by the Espace Mer et Littoral of the city of Antibes Juan-les-Pins.
Since the CRFS is not open to the public, we came up with the idea of recreating a mock sea turtle hospital at Marineland, made from plush toys, for use in schools.
The little ones can put themselves in the shoes of a veterinarian at the bedside of injured turtles or of a volunteer from the Marineland Association who comes every day to feed or take care of a turtle. This "hospital" contains the necessary equipment for the reception, the care and the follow-up of the turtles in convalescence (stretchers, transport box, scales, X-rays, blood tests, etc.). You will be able to discover all the key stages of a successful rescue, managed by professionals from the park and Association volunteers, from the discovery of the injured or stranded turtle to its return to the sea, including examinations and medical care.
Other very concrete Research and Conservation projects are presented, such as the scientific Clean & Collect programme.
Don't hesitate to ask the educational department for more information!
