That’s why we work closely with federal, state and community organizations such as Loggerhead Marinelife Center to help minimize impacts on natural resources and protect the Sunshine State’s wild treasures such as endangered sea turtles,” said Silagy, president and CEO, FPL. “Supporting programs at our facilities or local institutions that benefit the environment is one of the ways FPL contributes to the sustainability of communities where our employees work and live. The expanded FPL Sea Turtle Hospital Yard will also feature new exhibits – one showcasing FPL's Loggerhead Solar Energy Center and one showcasing Manatee Lagoon-An FPL Eco-Discovery CenterTM in Riviera Beach, Florida. The support we are receiving from our community and corporate partners is truly humbling." With FPL's donation, LMC has raised 50 percent of our total $14 million goal in just eight months. “For over three decades, FPL has supported our Center here in Juno Beach, located adjacent to one of the planet’s most important sea turtle nesting beaches.
“FPL is one of the largest clean energy providers in the world, with a long-standing commitment to environmental conservation,” said Jack E.
The gift will double the size of the enhanced outdoor FPL Sea Turtle Hospital Yard at Loggerhead Marinelife Center, allowing the Center to treat more injured sea turtles, engage with more visitors and students and add new FPL "Solar Trees," providing clean solar energy to the power grid.
