Turtles are often found on Texas beaches because they are nesting, injured, or sick. In our area, they do not typically come on shore to sunbathe.
For nesting turtles call (866) TURTLE-5
For injured, sick, or otherwise call (866) TURTLE-5, (361) 749-6763, or (361) 442-7638
It can be difficult to determine when a bird needs assistance. Look for signs of wounds or entanglements. Can it stand or fly?
