Saving Israel's sea turtles

North of Tel Aviv, on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, there is a unique hospital and rehab center.

Its patients are treated for swallowing hooks or for injuries sustained when caught in a fishing net.

This is the Israel Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center.

Its purpose is not only to help sea turtles survive and release them back to sea, but also to raise awareness, educate the public and involve them in their care.
