⁣Up on Florida’s First Coast, in the state’s upper right corner, is uflorida whitneylaboratory for Marine Bioscience, University of Florida — home to the Nancy Condron Family Sea Turtle Research Center and Hospital. ⠀ ⠀ It’s a high-tech, hands-on approach to conservation and discovery designed to protect and care for one of the world’s oldest, and most endangered, creatures: the sea turtle. Condron (MBA ’86, JD ’86), a longtime conservationist from nearby Ponte Vedra, led the initial effort to create the facility with the intent to help weak hatchlings that are washed back onto the beach and sick turtles. ⠀ ⠀ The hospital, named in Condron’s honor, opened in 2015. It now has an emergency room, nursery for hatchlings and offers community education programs.⠀ ⠀ #GoGreater #GoGators #NamedSpaces
