Sea Turtle, Inc. rescues, rehabilitates, and releases injured sea turtles. We are a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. STI was founded in 1977 by Ila Fox Loetscher, better known as "The Turtle Lady of South Padre Island." In 1999, STI moved from Ila's backyard into its current location at 6617 Padre Blvd., South Padre Island, TX. Originally formed to aid in the protection and recovery of the endangered Kemp's ridley sea turtle, our mission has now expanded into three parts: • Rescue, rehabilitate, and release injured sea turtles • Educate the public • Assist with conservation efforts for all sea turtle species. Income for operations is 100 percent funded by admission, public donations and gift shop sales, which are used to achieve the three missions (rehabilitation, education, and conservation).
