This Green Sea Turtle washed up on the beach at our place today. It was in rough shape. He was pretty lethargic but did move its head above the water to breathe.
Dale contacted wildlife management and was told to keep his/her head out of the water because they need air to breathe.
We were also told to keep him cool. Dale placed the turtle under an umbrella and kept pouring bay water over the towel.
A Biologist from Big Lagoon State Park came over to take the turtle to a Gulfarium in Panama City. There was a spill of jet fuel in the intracoastal waterway yesterday. This Sea Turtle was probably affected by that spill. The Biologist said the turtle will recover and be kept in an aquarium.
Probably a one in a life time experience to help an endangered species!
