The Gulf Specimen Marine Lab in Panacea will release three sea turtles into the wild from the Shell Point Beach Park tomorrow afternoon.

All of the turtles are Kemps Ridleys which are the most endangered of all sea turtles.

Each turtle being released was brought in to be treated for injuries.

Kemp’s Ridley turtles tend to live near oyster beds, which makes them more prone to being caught by fishermen.

If you would like to watch the turtle release, it will take place at the Shell Point Beach Park at 6 PM.

The public is invited to attend and bring your cameras.

Gulf Specimen is a non-profit biological supply, educational center, as well as a sea turtle rehabilitation center based out of Panacea, Florida.

The lab houses many rescued sea turtles each year, providing them with a place to heal and eat in order to prepare them for their release.
