The MEEC was created from a partnership between Broward County Parks and Recreation and Nova…read moreSoutheastern University. Opened in 2017, they are located in the historic Carpenter House which is really three buildings. The beachfront home on .54 acres was built in 1941 by Henry Godfrey Carpenter Jr. and his first wife Rachel Clews Carpenter. Mr. Carpenter was a Navy Lieutennant Commander and his wife was an A&P grocery heiress. The house was their summer home from 1946 until 1956. After that the couple moved into the home permanently. Mr. Carpenter then lived in the house until his death in 1981 and his second wife lived there until her death in 2002. There property has a two story house which contains the administrative offices and gift shop, the garage which includes an artist's studio upstairs, and the beachfront cottage or cabana house which contains educational exhibits. In 2004 the property was bought by Broward County using funds from 2000 Safe Parks and Land Preservation Bond Referendum and the Florida Communities Trust. Broward County spent 3.7 million dollars for the property and put in another 1.6 million dollars to renovate the site. The center is now home to Captain a sea turtle injured by a boat who resides in a 18x38 foot backyard saltwater pool on the property. Captain had two weights added to her shell to help her be able to dive. Captain was released into the wild once but she washed back up on shore in bad shape. It became clear that she would have to live her life in captivity in order to survive. This center does not rescue and rehabilitate sea turtles like Gumbo Limbo Nature Center in Boca Raton and Loggerhead Marine Life Center in Juno Beach. MEEC provides a permanent home to Captain who cannot be returned to the wild and they offer marine education about how important it is to keep our oceans clean. On the day I visited I had a lovely chat with volunteer Kevin who was scrubbing Captains pool. The center is small but admission is free. They do request a $3 donation to maintain care of Captain. Parking is available at meters along the street. If you are visiting the beach it is well worth the time to stop by and visit Captain and learn what we all can do to protect her fellow sea turtles in the wild.

Arrive around 10 when they open so you can see the volunteers (it takes 3-4) put a weighted…read morebackpack on Captain to help her even her keel. Later, you can hear about Captain and Cane, the two rescue sea turtles while you watch a feeding. Lovely way to spend an hour. Took my 8-year-old.
