A loggerhead sea turtle named Rocky was released into the Atlantic Ocean after spending six weeks rehabbing at Florida’s Loggerhead Marinelife Center.
February 15, 2023, 2:30 PMA loggerhead sea turtle named Rocky was released into the Atlantic Ocean on Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2023 in Juno Beach, Fla after spending six weeks rehabbing at Loggerhead Marinelife Center. Wednesday morning's event marked the first public sea turtle release from the Juno Beach center since 2021.
The turtle “had a perforation in the lung, so was trapping air in the body cavity, which was making it essentially be what’s called a floater,” Dehart said. “It couldn’t dive. It couldn’t get underwater."“So, every one of these animals that goes back is critical to the survival of the sea turtle populations, especially a large breeding female like Rocky," he said. “Seeing that return to nature is truly something magical.
