Within a week of being found he was delivered to the sea turtle hospital and laboratory at Hainan Normal University in Haikou for treatment. Dozens of other rare and endangered sea turtles just like Stanley have been rehabilitated at the hospitals and labs on Hainan Island, supervised by Sea Turtles 911's Yeh and Hainan Normal University Professor Shi Haitao. Basketball Hall of Famer Yao Ming and Sea Turtles 911 founder Frederick Yeh release a sea turtle in June 2014 at Sanya, Hainan. A juvenile sea turtle whose plastron was damaged and infected when he was kept as a pet in someone's house. Meanwhile Sea Turtles 911's partnership with the Ritz-Carlton, Marriott and Sheraton hotels, among others, means tourists can get a rare opportunity to see sea turtles returning to the shores of Hainan, if only to leave for now.
