Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode: Teamwork Turtle Rescue

After sunrise, Puppy—also known as Eddy the Pelican—and M the dolphin were busy fishing for breakfast in the lagoon. Puppy was grabbing the teeny fish while M grabbed the big redfish.

Nearby, a young green sea turtle kept returning to the shallows to rest. The third time, s/he allowed herself to be picked up without trying to swim away, making it clear that something wasn’t right.

Thanks to the quick response and teamwork of the New Smyrna Beach Turtle Trackers this little nugget is now safe at the Marine Marine Science Center Friends of the Marine Science Center receiving medical attention.

Hopefully, s/he will soon be healthy enough to return home and swim in the lagoon soon!

Stay tuned for more tales!
