You can also adopt the patients. This is a great classroom project for you teachers out there. Here are the details form the website:

"The sea turtles at the Georgia Sea Turtle Center need your support! Food, medications, Dr. check-ups, and x-rays are just a few of the things that our sea turtle patients need during their stay here. If the turtle is successfully rehabilitated, we hope to also be able to provide each one with a satellite transmitter, secured to it's shell, so we can keep track of the turtle upon release! But even then, funds to cover costs for satellite time and maintenance of data are still a concern. We need YOUR help to raise these funds and the Adopt-a-Turtle Program is designed just for that purpose! Whether you are adopting a turtle for yourself or as a gift for someone else, it is sure to bring you joy knowing you've contributed to the conservation of these amazing, endangered animals! Our Program offers 2 options: #1 Current In-house Patients and #2 Successfully rehabilitated and released turtles with a satellite transmitter:"
