On May 31, this juvenile sea turtle arrived at Gulf Specimen Marine Lab after becoming tangled in fishing line. Thanks to a quick response and expert care from our sea turtle team, Salami received a full examination, including X-rays and a veterinary evaluation.
We're happy to report that Salami is in great shape and has been cleared for release! After a short stay with us, it's time for her to head back to her ocean home where she belongs.
Join us this Thursday at 3 PM as we release Salami back into the Gulf and watch her swim home! There's nothing quite like seeing a rescued sea turtle return to the wild.
Thank you to everyone who helps support sea turtle rescue and rehabilitation along Florida's coast. Every rescue makes a difference!
