Join us at the Key West Aquarium for Locals Sunday on June 6th as we kick off Sea Turtle Week with Save-A-Turtle in the Florida Keys and special guest Dr. Doug Mader, MS, DVM! They will be visiting to share their passion for protecting one of our ocean’s most beloved species. Guests can learn more about sea turtle conservation, the challenges these incredible animals face, and the work being done right here in the Florida Keys to help them thrive.

Dr. Mader will be signing copies of his new book, “The Vet from the Urban Jungle,” and donating proceeds from sales to Save-A-Turtle! This is an amazing opportunity to chat with the Key West Aquarium’s vet about our animals and the many patients he has cared for throughout his illustrious career!
Stop by to enjoy a fun, hands-on activity designed for guests of all ages and discover simple ways you can help protect sea turtles and their habitats. It’s an engaging and educational experience the whole family can enjoy while connecting with local conservation efforts.
Monroe County residents enjoy free admission on Locals Day! While admission is free for locals, all activities — crafts, talks, and special events — are open to all guests.
