STSSN maintains the official network roster through NOAA Fisheries. Sea Turtle Conservancy supplements with partner facility records. A sheet that blends both, refreshed monthly, becomes the SleekRank source. Cache duration controls how often the directory reads the sheet.

STSSN coordinates roughly 30 sea turtle hospitals along the US coast plus Hawaii. SleekRank handles any number of rows, so a new facility opening in Texas or California adds one row and one indexable page after the next cache cycle, without restructuring.

Yes. Add a cold_stun_protocol column or a seasonal_block_html column to the source. A tag mapping renders the protocol on the facility page during cold-stun season. Updating the protocol once in the sheet propagates to every facility that opts into the block.

If the facility transfers, update the row in place. If it closes permanently, remove the row and the URL returns a clean 404 on the next cache cycle. The base index page automatically stops listing the closed facility because the SleekView grid reads the same source.

The default URL pattern covers US facilities, but the same page group can scale to international hospitals by adding country to the slug or a sibling page group at /global-sea-turtle-rescue/{slug}/. The roster columns stay the same regardless of country.

Yes, and that note should live on the base page rather than in row fields. All sea turtle species are protected under the ESA, so the framing copy applies to every facility. Per-facility pages inherit the base copy and add row-specific intake and species detail.

Yes. Add a webcam_url column for facilities that publish live streams. A tag mapping renders an embed or button on the page when the field is populated, and skips the section when the field is empty. Webcam launches go live as a single row update.

Yes. SleekRank plus SleekPixel generates per-facility OG images that overlay the hospital name and the lead species. Donations and adoption campaigns shared on social land on facility-branded cards instead of one site-wide image used across every page.
