Just last month National Marine Life Center became the second facility in Massachusetts to provide triage care for cold-stunned sea turtles, previously New England Aquarium’s Animal Care Center in Quincy, MA was the only site to which sea turtles could be taken to for the critical care. The “Saving Sea Turtles with Laughter” event is happening soon, December 13<sup>th</sup> at 8pm! You’re invited to come and enjoy three different comedians, fabulous prizes to be won, table snacks, and a cash bar. All proceeds go directly into helping National Marine Life Center care for the endangered sea turtles before they are released back to the wild.
