Bill and Brandi are two of the most dedicated conservationists I know... and I work in a zoo where everyone is passionate about conservation! During this past winter they had several rescues (cold-stunned Sea Turtles) that were in extremely dire health. Bill and Brandi and their amazing volunteer aides took turns around the clock for months (without pay!) tending to the myriad medical issues and ensuring all were able to be returned to the ocean this spring. They are vigilant in every aspect of wildlife recovery, and they tirelessly teach thousands of guests and fellow rescuers each month how to protect our oceans and nesting grounds. They are humble and deeply gracious humans who devote every waking moment to rehabilitating, protecting and promoting the welfare of migratory Sea Turtles.
STR is an incredible organization! My daughter and her friend created a fundraiser at their school to help pay for food and medicine costs. Please join them in supporting the sea turtles!
STR is the best! They did a 45 minute presentation for the middle school club that I advise and it was perfect! The students were so engaged and the whole presentation was very informative. The work STR is truly phenomenal and so important to the entire ocean ecosystem!
Sea Turtle Recovery is my daughters favorite place to visit. We go there first, then the rest of the zoo and stop in again just before we leave. We were lucky enough to attend one of the releases in Point Pleasant last year which was a truly magical experience! Please support and share this amazing nonprofit!!
Visited with the family today and had a great time! Very dedicated staff doing wonderful work. We adopted Butterscotch.
My family visited while on vacation in New Jersey and Sea Turtle Recovery was a highlight for the whole family! We spoke with the biologists that care for the sea turtles who very patiently answered all of our questions. We particularly enjoyed hearing the stories of Cheerios and Bernie! Sea turtle adoptions will definitely be part of our yearly giving. Please support this amazing grassroots group!
Love this group! We have adopted nearly every turtle they have and run the 5k every year. Our favorite place to visit at the zoo!
Amazing organization! I am a teacher and had STR come do a presentation for our students. Brandi did an amazing job! The students loved the program! Our whole class also did a fundraiser to help support STR that tied into our science curriculum. It truly helped engage the the students. Highly recommended!
I have been supporting Sea Turtle Recovery since they began! My family loves the adoption stories and they make great gifts. Follow there social media for release announcements and you can go to the beach to watch the turtles released! Please share and support also!
I'd never heard of STR until today when I read a story in the newspaper about the release of Titan, one of eight sea turtles released back into the sea after their rescue, rehab, and ultimately their release. The story just touched my heart. Amidst all the rest of the awful, depressing, and frightening news, here was a story of hope that made me smile at a time when there's little to smile about in the news these days.
Sea Turtle Recovery is a great organization doing great things. I want to make a donation to help with the wonderful work you're doing, which I'll do as soon as I post this. Thank you!
Sea Turtle Recovery (STR) is a true grass-roots organization run by the most dedicated and caring people. Rescuing and releasing these beautiful endangered animals is not a job or a business; it is a passion, a calling. Their success rate and speaks for itself. When donating to STR I know my money goes directly to the sea turtles, not to fancy offices or giant salaries. These people are in this for the right reason and I'm so grateful for their amazing work.
An incredible group of people who are passionate. You can feel their love of Sea Turtles and their passion is infectious.
The love and care they give to each and every turtle under their care is something special. Their skills in rehabilitation is a true gift to conservation and bio-diversity of marine life.
They’re a great non- profit saving endangered sea turtles. A true grass roots group and very hard working. They’ve saved so many sea turtles who would have otherwise died, it makes my heart so happy. Thank God for their group and the wonderful people who care so deeply about the turtles.
The hard work they do to rehabilitate these turtles is just phenomenal. This is an excellent non-profit — very hard working with very big hearts.
Brandi does an amazing job adapting her program to the different grades in our school! She customized her presentation to the kindergarten/First Grade, Second/Third Grade, and Fourth Grade. Each one was a little different and kept the students interested and engaged. STR has been to our school several years in a row and we will gladly continue to have them back! Highly recommended!
Absolutely inspirational organization! They doing amazing work and their brunch event is the best because it highlights all the patients they have helped so far. The stories are just incredible! A+++
I am writing about STR because I know the 2 people who started it and put their blood, sweat and tears into running it. Brandy and Bill are two of the most hardworking individuals I have ever met. They had a dream to rescue sea turtles in the state of NJ. They wanted a place for them so they did not have to get transported hours and miles away to other facilities, and they made it happen. I met them when they both worked long, hard hours for the Marine Mammal Stranding Center rescuing mostly dolphins and seals. I saw their dedication, their intelligence, and their love and compassion for animal rescue and rehabilitation. I was thrilled when they spoke about starting a sea turtle rescue. It is most definitely needed. They planned, they reached out, they fundraised, and now they are realizing their goal. I am honored to know them and to have volunteered with them for several years. I respect them immensely and continue to support all that they are doing for the sea turtles that grace our ocean.

I have known Brandy and Bill for the past several years. I was a volunteer who worked with them at a seal rescue facility. You could not ask for more dedicated, compassionate, and intelligent individuals. They would do whatever it took to save and rehabilitate an animal in their care. I totally support Sea Turtle Recovery because I trust the people running it. They are the best!
I went to this nonprofits fundraiser event in March. With only two full time staff they managed to rehabilitate over 20 animals in a year. I am proud to support this organization. BRAVO
Brandi provided an amazing presentation to the students about sea turtles and ways that everyone can make a difference for our ocean life. The presentation inspired our students to create their own fundraising campaign. The funds that were raised were used to sponsor a sea turtle adoption. The remaining portion was sent to help with the care and medical costs.
So proud to be a part of this group! Visit seaturtlerecovery.org to "adopt" a turtle and help pay for its care!
Sea Turtle Recovery is AMAZING! Please help support their efforts with a donation! My whole family follows the progress of the turtles through facebook. If you get the chance to attend one of their releases - DO IT! It is a life changing experience! Here is a photo of Humphrey from 2017. It was so heartwarming!
Please help them save our sea turtles! Please DONATE at seaturtlerecovery.org This group relies on public donations to care for these amazing animals and help them heal.
Amazing organization! We saw Humphrey get released into the ocean after Sea Turtle Recovery helped him. SO emotional and inspirational! Thank you for what you do !

This place is great! I am an intern here and have never seen such dedicated people to their careers. Bill and Brandi care more about the sea turtles than anything else. The facility is very clean and the perfect place for sick and injured sea turtles that completely rely on the dedication or Bill and Brandi. Please donate!
After our first year, we have now released 23 sea turtles and have went to over 100 schools! We are making a difference for endangered sea turtles!

New Jersey will benefit from a sea turtle recovery. As I have know Bill & Brandy for several years I am very proud to be able to donate & volunteer to this non profit organization. Last year my husband and I were very please to have them come to our annual haunted yard we do for the community. Where they educated our community on how to provide a safe environment for these sea turtles. Our neighbor trusted this group so much that we all donated to them. We wish them the very best! Go save those turtles!
This is an awesome nonprofit group truly dedicated to the rescue of sea turtles. This group is educating the public in the need for a turtle rescue & keeping a safe aquatic environment for marine life. They are very knowledgeable & willing to share info on turtles & their rescue.
