Loggerhead Marinelife Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit<br />
organization committed to the conservation of ocean<br />
ecosystems through public education, research and<br />
rehabilitation with a focus on threatened<br />
and endangered sea turtles.<br />
<strong>Introduction</strong><br />
Loggerhead Marinelife Center (LMC) is one of Florida’s<br />
most unique cultural destinations focused on ocean and<br />
sea turtle conservation. Our vision is, “To be recognized<br />
locally and internationally as the leading authority in<br />
sea turtle education, research, and rehabilitation.” In<br />
20<strong>15</strong>, with the support from dedicated staff, volunteers,<br />
and generous supporters, we significantly increased the<br />
impact of our programs locally and internationally.<br />

<strong>300</strong>,<strong>000+</strong><br />
Number of guests who visited LMC’s Juno<br />
Beach Campus and Pier in 20<strong>15</strong>.<br />
Community Impact:<br />
Did you know that LMC does not charge admission? We<br />
are proud to welcome our guests free of charge. We do<br />
this because we believe every person should be given<br />
equal access to conservation education.<br />
Fast Fact: Over 50% of LMC’s guests visit our campus<br />
from outside of Palm Beach County.<br />
<strong>45</strong>,<strong>000+</strong><br />

LMC’s sea turtle hospital is one of the most advanced<br />
sea turtle diagnostic facilities in the world. Serving as<br />
a global training hub, LMC’s hospital is considered a<br />
center of excellence for visiting veterinarians and interns<br />
from around the globe.<br />
<strong>15</strong><br />
With the support of our stakeholders, in<br />
20<strong>15</strong>, LMC was able to impact <strong>15</strong> global<br />
conservation hot-spots, installing needed<br />
funding and programming.<br />
Conservation Impact:<br />
Although the world’s oceans have many names, these<br />
interconnected bodies of water are all threatened. LMC’s<br />
team is creating a global partnership network in hopes<br />
of increasing our conservation impact in Florida and<br />
around the globe.<br />
LMC’s Next Chapter:<br />
We are honored to continue the legacy set by LMC<br />
founder, Eleanor Fletcher, more than 30 years ago. Since<br />
moving into our current facility in 2007, LMC’s dynamic<br />
growth allows us to be one of the most visited cultural<br />
facilities in Palm Beach County, FL. With the help of our<br />
supporters, we look forward to embarking on an exciting<br />
next chapter of growth which will allow LMC to increase<br />
our educational, scientific, and cultural impact.<br />
The ocean is one of the most important ecosystems on<br />
the planet and the majestic sea turtle serves as one of<br />
the ocean’s most significant ambassadors. We intend<br />
to continue creating a community of ocean heroes who<br />
are able to leave a lasting legacy of ocean and sea turtle<br />
conservation for many generations to come.<br />
On behalf of our staff, volunteers, and board of directors,<br />
thank you for your support.<br />

Conservation<br />
Responsible Pier Initiative (RPI)<br />
In December 20<strong>15</strong>, LMC launched Project SHIELD,<br />
partnering with organizations around the globe in<br />
need of comprehensive conservation options. Project<br />
SHIELD is a multi-faceted program that provides<br />
conservation solutions to areas in need including:<br />
fishing piers, marinas, resorts and hotels, beach<br />
access points, fishing charter operators, and snorkel<br />
and SCUBA operators. To date, the project has been<br />
officially launched in Escambron Bay, San Juan, Puerto<br />
Rico and on the island of Vieques.<br />

Water Quality Monitoring Wet Lab<br />
In November, the education department hosted a<br />
ribbon cutting ceremony at LMC’s brand new Wet Lab.<br />
The lab integrates research techniques and equipment<br />
with hands-on, inquiry-based science for researchers,<br />
public users, teachers, and students. A hub for visiting<br />
researchers, the Wet Lab encourages collaboration<br />
among users, just steps away from the Atlantic Ocean.<br />
Free water<br />
quality kits<br />
are available<br />
for teachers<br />
and citizen<br />
scientists<br />
to borrow<br />
and collect<br />
valuable<br />
data.<br />
7<br />
In addition to active research and public engagement,<br />
the lab enables teachers and students from around<br />
the region to advance their scientific knowledge and<br />
abilities. The space is ideal for teacher development<br />
workshops, where teachers experience the scientific<br />
process through inquiry-based learning techniques,<br />
which they can bring back to their classrooms.<br />
The program produces advanced STEM (Science,<br />
Technology, Engineering, and Math) curriculum for use<br />
throughout the Palm Beach County school district and<br />
offers in-house programming for upper-level students<br />
interested in pursuing a career in science & technology.<br />

Research<br />
LMC’s research program is one of the longest running<br />
sea turtle monitoring programs in the state of Florida.<br />
The program officially began when LMC founder<br />
Eleanore Fletcher received her permit from the State<br />
of Florida in the early 1970s. For over 25 years, LMC<br />
research biologists have been systematically monitoring<br />
the nesting sea turtle population along northern Palm<br />
Beach County beaches. The three predominant species<br />
that nest in Florida are leatherback, loggerhead, and<br />
green sea turtles. LMC biologists conducted surveys<br />
along Juno, Jupiter/ Jupiter Island beaches from March<br />
- October this year. Each season, the research team<br />
documents all sea turtle activities along 9.5 miles of<br />
beach from the northern Palm Beach County line south<br />
to John D. MacArthur Beach State Park.<br />
Leatherbacks<br />
Loggerheads<br />
• Deepest diving<br />
reptile in the world.<br />
• LMC survey area is<br />
one of the highest<br />
density beaches for<br />
the species in the<br />
United States.<br />
• 10,679 nests in 20<strong>15</strong>.<br />
In 20<strong>15</strong>, LMC’s research department presented at two<br />
preeminent sea turtle conferences: 1) Southeast Regional<br />
Sea Turtle Meeting (Georgia): LMC’s team presented insights<br />
collected from LMC’s data on Juno Beach pertaining to how<br />
beach renourishment impacts loggerhead sea turtles.<br />
2) International Sea Turtle Conference (Taiwan): LMC’s team<br />
presented our comprehensive research techniques and<br />
survey methods used on LMC’s 9.5 mile stretch of beach in<br />
Palm Beach County, Florida, one of the most densely nested<br />
beaches in the world.<br />
• In peak nesting<br />
season, LMC staff<br />
recorded more than<br />
1,000 loggerhead<br />
crawls in one night. 9<br />
• Largest clutch size:<br />
<strong>16</strong>9 eggs.<br />
Staff Recorded <strong>16</strong>,<strong>335</strong> Nests = A Nest Every 3 Feet<br />
Green Sea Turtles<br />
• Record-breaking<br />
year: 5,443 nests<br />
(previous record<br />
was 4,689 in 2013).

Sea Turtle Rehabilitation<br />
Advanced medical equipment is<br />
critical to saving lives. At LMC,<br />
those lives are sea turtle patients.<br />
Due to generous support from<br />
donors, the Gordon & Patricia<br />
Gray Hospital is now home to two<br />
additional world class machines,<br />
which transform patient outcomes<br />
and allow our ocean-side campus<br />
to serve as a global teaching hub.<br />
LMC’s high-definition ultrasound<br />
machine enables hospital staff<br />
to clearly examine the intricate<br />
anatomy of sea turtle patients.<br />
This provides staff with a different<br />
perspective on ailments, allowing<br />
them to formulate targeted<br />
treatment plans. The second<br />
device, the Karl Storz EndoSkope,<br />
is the most advanced of its kind.<br />
Many of our sea turtle patients<br />
have complex internal medical<br />
challenges; such as plastic and<br />
fishing hook ingestion. The<br />
endoscope’s high-definition digital<br />
monitor allows LMC’s veterinarian<br />
to better examine delicate organs.<br />
Should patients need an endoscopic<br />
procedure, the team at LMC<br />
now has one of the most advanced<br />
tools available.<br />
In 20<strong>15</strong>:<br />
The Best Medical Equipment<br />
These tools enhance diagnostic capabilities and improve patient outcomes and care.<br />
• The hospital treated <strong>106</strong> sea<br />
turtle patients including: green,<br />
hawskbill, Kemp’s ridley, and<br />
loggerhead sea turtles.<br />
• <strong>45</strong> sea turtles and 611 hatchlings<br />
were released; 27 remain<br />
in rehabilitation.<br />
• A total of 10 turtles were transferred<br />
to other rehab facilities,<br />
primarily for fibropapilloma<br />
treatment.<br />
• We released 4 sea turtles with<br />
satellite transmitters.<br />

Expanding our<br />
Horizons<br />
The future of Loggerhead Marinelife<br />
Center is bright with our expansion<br />
plans to be revealed in 20<strong>16</strong>.<br />
LMC’s current campus debuted in 2007 to<br />
great fanfare, welcoming 100,000 guests.<br />
In 20<strong>15</strong> LMC’s campus welcomed a recordsetting<br />
<strong>300</strong>,<strong>000+</strong> guests and offered the largest<br />
portfolio of services and programming in the<br />
history of our center, making the campus one<br />
of the top visited cultural destinations in Palm<br />
Beach County.<br />
Space constraints limit the ability to increase<br />
our programming and conservation impact. In<br />
20<strong>16</strong> LMC will kick off an ambitious campaign<br />
to expand our facility in hopes of allowing our<br />
center to rehabilitate more sea turtle patients,<br />
educate more students and welcome<br />
additional guests and visiting scientist from<br />
around the globe.<br />
<strong>15</strong><br />
Our Proposed Expansion Will:<br />
• Expand our sea turtle hospital<br />
and sea turtle hospital tanks<br />
• Expand our research laboratory<br />
• Provide new classroom space<br />
• Provide presentation spaces<br />
for guest lecturers and visiting<br />
scientists<br />
• Expand our exhibit spaces<br />
As you can see from the rendering, our<br />
preliminary building plans have started to take<br />
shape. Over the next year LMC will educate the<br />
public about the critical programs on campus<br />
and how this expansion will allow our center to<br />
significantly increase our programming impact<br />
through educational and scientific experiences.<br />
For more information about our proposed<br />
expansion please contact LMC’s development<br />
team at 561-627-8280, ext. 103.
<strong>16</strong><br />
Retail Operations<br />
In addition to off-setting the significant operational costs of LMC’s sea turtle<br />
hospital, LMC’s retail outlets are critical to supporting our center’s commitment<br />
to provide free admission for our guests.<br />
Campus Gift Store<br />
Loggerhead Marinelife Center’s<br />
campus gift store continues to<br />
proudly serve our guests by offering<br />
hundreds of marine-inspired gifts,<br />
accessories, and home decor pieces,<br />
and extraordinary work from local<br />
artists.<br />
Tortuga Café & Market<br />
Guest satisfaction is a very important<br />
attribute to LMC’s service offering. To<br />
better meet the needs of our guests,<br />
we designed the Tortuga Café &<br />
Market on campus. This fun, oceaninspired<br />
café and market offers ice<br />
cream, healthy snacks, coffee and<br />
other various beverages.<br />
Juno Beach Pier<br />
LMC assumed operations of the Juno<br />
Beach Pier in 2014. Over the past year,<br />
LMC has significantly invested in Juno<br />
Beach Pier operations, which has<br />
resulted in an updated Pier House, an<br />
advanced food and beverage menu,<br />
as well as an assortment of angling<br />
and retail items.<br />
Online E-commerce Store<br />
In 2014, Loggerhead Marinelife<br />
Center launched a new e-commerce<br />
platform, which offers a user-friendly<br />
experience. Online shoppers can<br />
purchase ocean and sea turtle inspired<br />
merchandise from the comfort of their<br />
home or from their mobile device.<br />
Florida Power & Light’s (FPL) Manatee Lagoon<br />
With decades of successful<br />
management experience, LMC<br />
is an established and trusted<br />
leader among Palm Beach<br />
Counties cultural destinations.<br />
In 20<strong>15</strong>, FPL and LMC entered<br />
into a management agreement<br />
allowing LMC to operate Manatee<br />
Lagoon’s retail operations.<br />
LMC and FPL share similar missions<br />
and goals for our facilities<br />
and the addition of Manatee<br />
Lagoon will further expand the<br />
marine animal conservation<br />
footprint in Palm Beach County.<br />
Manatee Lagoon will open in<br />
early 20<strong>16</strong> and in addition to a<br />
wonderful educational experience,<br />
the center will offer guests<br />
free admission and free parking.<br />

20<strong>15</strong> Volunteers of the Year<br />
Congratulations to Betsy Smith and David Whiteley, two of our many dedicated volunteers that are essential<br />
to us carrying out our important mission on a daily basis.<br />
Betsy Smith<br />
Betsy Smith has been a volunteer<br />
at LMC for ten years, donating<br />
more than 3,000 hours in that time.<br />
She volunteers in the Education<br />
Department and at the Juno<br />
Beach Pier to bring our message<br />
of conservation to children, adults<br />
and families. Betsy is an education<br />
docent, leads Living Beaches and<br />
volunteers for Turtle Walks and<br />
Hatchling Releases. Betsy also<br />
attends outreaches on behalf of LMC, representing or mission<br />
in the community with great enthusiasm.<br />
At the Juno Beach Pier, Betsy collects, untangles and cleans<br />
used monofilament fishing line every two weeks and then<br />
sends it to the monofilament recycling center. In 20<strong>15</strong>, Betsy<br />
helped LMC recycle monofilament line that would stretch<br />
more than 20 miles. Betsy also assists with the Kid’s Fishing<br />
Clinic at the pier. She teaches young anglers knot tying,<br />
casting, species identification, proper release protocols, sea<br />
turtle rescue and the importance of recycling.<br />
Betsy has also been an integral part of the Trash Free Seas<br />
program (implemented at LMC in 2014). Betsy cleans a .6 mile<br />
stretch of beach in Coral Cove about five times per week. The<br />
most common items she collects are small bits of plastic. Over<br />
90% of the trash LMC has documented through the Trash<br />
Free Seas program has been collected by Betsy.<br />
In addition to her weekly volunteer commitments, Betsy is an<br />
integral part of TurtleFest. Each year, Betsy helps coordinate<br />
approximately <strong>15</strong>0 external volunteers to assist with the large<br />
event. Betsy recruits and meets with community members<br />
and organizations to ensure all of the volunteer needs are<br />
met. Betsy’s support creates a successful event.<br />
Betsy is an extremely dedicated volunteer who inspires all<br />
of us to persevere and reminds us that everyone can make a<br />
difference. We thank Betsy for being such a great addition to<br />
the LMC volunteer team.<br />
David Whiteley<br />
David Whiteley has been a<br />
volunteer at LMC for three years<br />
and has donated more than 2,000<br />
hours in that time. David volunteers<br />
in the Sea Turtle Rehabilitation<br />
Department. He is a responsible<br />
rehabilitation permit volunteer<br />
that feeds the turtles three times a<br />
week. He also spends at least one<br />
shift per week helping the staff with<br />
treatments and routine husbandry<br />
work. The sea turtle food preparations and procedures have<br />
greatly improved due to David’s dedication, donations and<br />
advice. David attends nearly all sea turtle releases. He always<br />
arrives early to assist with set-up and crowd control during<br />
these events.<br />
Along with his sea turtle rehabilitation volunteer duties, David<br />
enjoys volunteering for special events including TurtleFest,<br />
on campus educational events, and outreaches. David is<br />
also a Turtle Walk volunteer each summer. He volunteers<br />
for at least two Turtle Walk scouting shifts per week. David is<br />
always willing to fill in for extra shifts and helps train our new<br />
Turtle Walk scout volunteers each season.<br />
Outside of his regularly scheduled volunteer shifts, David is an<br />
active Blue Friends Society member who participates in social<br />
events, beach clean-ups and the Go Blue Awards Luncheon.<br />
At the moment, David is currently unable to volunteer due to<br />
a major shoulder surgery he underwent in November 20<strong>15</strong>.<br />
However, that does not stop him from supporting Loggerhead<br />
Marinelife Center. David has offered any help and support he<br />
can while on medical leave from volunteering. He frequently<br />
visits to make sure he stays up to date on our sea turtle patients.<br />
David is extremely devoted and loves being a volunteer, part of<br />
the LMC family and a sea turtle advocate. We are so grateful to<br />
have someone like David Whiteley in the volunteer program.<br />
David truly believes in our cause and we are so thankful for all<br />
of his dedication to Loggerhead Marinelife Center.<br />
