24.01.2022 Amazing work by our central coast branch! See ya Donnie!

23.01.2022 Turtle Thursday! How cute are Jingle and Reef enjoying some vitamin D Did you know that most of the green sea turtles that come into our care are only juveniles? The turtles that we often have in care are usually between 1-20 years of age! A turtles age can be estimated by its size with a measurement called CCL (curved carapace length). Green sea turtles don’t reach sexual maturity until the age of around 25-30 years old. This is why it is so important that we get these t...urtles healthy and back out into the wild population. . . . . . . #australianseabirdrescue #ballinabyronseaturtlehospital #cheloniamydas #greenseaturtle #ocean #oceanconservation See more

21.01.2022 April’s update! This turtle sure has a lot of love surrounding her Whatever it takes, we will never give up

19.01.2022 Turtle Rescue time! Sunday morning called us out to try and find a sea turtle that we had had a few reports about through the week. @ollyyeah managed to find him and catch him! Massive thank you to long time friends and locals Steph and Marc for helping while Norm from NPWS and Olly continued to look for another turtle that had been reported ill. This little guy has lesions all over his skin, we don’t know what has caused them, but he will be off to byronbaywildlife this m...orning for a treatment plan. Love some teamwork! . . . . . . #australia #australianseabirdrescue #ballina #byronbay #turtlerescue #seaturtle #greenseaturtle -#conservation #turtlenerd See more

18.01.2022 Here at ASR we love educating, but we also love learning new things! As we get more and more animals in care we sometimes come across species we have never had before and we then adapt and learn. We typically only get two species of sea snakes in our care, the yellow-bellied sea snake and elegant sea snake. So when we get a different species come in, out comes the identification book. We have also asked around and we think this species is a horned sea snake (Hydrophis peronii...). We are open for suggestions if you think otherwise. This poor snake was found stranded on South Kingscliff beach. Sea snakes that are sick or injured will often wash ashore after big seas or storm events. Please never touch or pick up sea snakes. They are highly venomous and can bite. If you do come across one please call us on 0428 862 852 or your local wildlife rescue group. Thank you Nicola for helping us id this beauty @snakereptilecatchinggosford . . . . . . #australianseabirdrescue #ballinabyronseaturtlehospital #seasnake #hydrophisperonii

15.01.2022 Found struggling in the shore at Iluka a few days ago, this silvergull chick had a small amount of feathers missing from his head, and was exhausted but otherwise doing ok. Self feeding which will help dramatically with imprinting issues and is a ball of energy. Kids, am I right? . . .... . #australianseabirdrescue #seagull #silvergull #ballina #seabird See more

15.01.2022 Today we had the pleasure of meeting the crew from Commonwealth Bank Ballina.

09.01.2022 The green sea turtle rescued from Byron. This juvenile has circular lesions all over her skin, including plastron and carapace. While we are used to seeing all types of problems with sea turtles this is a little out of the ordinary. Her treatment plan set out by the amazing @drbreetalbot will give her the best opportunity to get better. Our dedicated team at ASR will work hard to try and get her back out there in the big blue. ... Send those positive vibes to this little beauty, she’s got a bit of recovering to do . . . . . #australianseabirdrescue #byronbay #seaturtle #greenseaturtle #seaturtlerehab #conservation #animalhospital #ocean #turtlenerd See more
