The Lampedusa Sea Turtle Rescue Center is a symbol of the commitment to protecting the Caretta Caretta, a species that frequents the island's waters and often requires treatment due to hooks, nets, or other human-related hazards. For years, it has served as a specialized hospital, capable of treating hundreds of turtles each year thanks to the work of biologists, veterinarians, and volunteers.

Today, the center continues to play a fundamental role in scientific research, turtle monitoring, and awareness-raising activities for visitors. During the summer, you can experience firsthand the volunteers' work and discover how injured turtles are cared for and rehabilitated—an educational and engaging experience for adults and children alike.

The center is a point of reference for nature lovers who want to better understand the importance of marine conservation, contributing to the protection of one of the Mediterranean's most fascinating species.
