Imagine the entire coastal ecosystem in the southeast changed:
colder water temperatures causing animals to desperately fight
for survival, often unsuccessfully. Our coasts are recovering
from such a crisis now, and it is leaving our oceans in peril.
An estimated 5,000 sea turtles stranded along the Atlantic coast
in February 2010, 4,500 in Florida alone, as temperatures have
dropped, in some places reaching a frigid 50 degrees. Now, we
ask you to support our 4R Program through a one-time donation or

are helping Georgia Aquarium positively impact the health and
well-being of aquatic life from around the world.Georgia
Aquarium’s 4R Program encompasses rescue, research,
rehabilitation and responsibility. The 4Rs can be seen
throughout the Aquarium: from our sea turtle rehabilitation
programs, to our living coral reef; from our whale shark
studies, to our state-of-the-art Correll Center for Aquatic
Animal Health. To make a one-time gift, please click
