If you find an injured or dead turtle, contact the Sea Turtle Assistance & Rescue (STAR) network here in the USVI. STAR is a collaboration of NGO’s, territorial and federal agencies, veterinarians, and community volunteers. These groups joined together to help injured sea turtles, as well as collect and disseminate information on stranded turtles, in order to better protect these marine animals.
STAR relies on many community volunteers, local veterinarians and other donated resources. The most important participant in STAR, however, is YOU! Please call the hotline at (340) 690-0474 to report any entrapped, disoriented, sick, injured, or dead sea turtle.
