BREVARD, Fla. – The Brevard Zoo has received a generous donation from the DSF Charitable Foundation. The charity gave the zoo $5 million to fund the sea turtle care complex at the future aquarium. When this aquarium is complete, it’ll serve as a regional conservation hub that provides research opportunities, helps restore coastal ecosystems, and provides rehab for injured or sick sea turtles and manatees, ensuring the zoo is a place of education and environmental change, a spokesperson said. When the three-story building at the aquarium is complete it will be open for researchers and students, according to the statement. Groundbreaking for the new facility is expected in Fall of 2024.
