One is a Kemp's Ridley sea turtle and one is a Green sea turtle. We will be down at Shell Point Beach to set our turtle friends back to their ocean journeys. Here are some descriptions of the turtles we will be releasing: Hi my name is Opal the Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtle. I was found right here locally on Mashes Sands Pier. I'm still a juvenile sea turtle, and luckily Gulf Specimen Marine Lab picked me up to take care of me after I swallowed a hook from a local fisherman! The scratches on my shell are because I was attacked by a shark! I can turn really fast because of my shell and I was able to escape him! I will be released Thursday along with my other turtle friends. Hi my name is Jade. I am a juvenile Green Sea Turtle. I was accidentally caught in nets by local fishermen. Sadly, Jade got pneumonia due to water entering her lungs however she has responded well to antibiotics and has been cleared by Dr. Griggs at Shepherd Springs Animal Hospital to be released. It hasn't been a long time here at the lab, but it's been a good time. Now I'm headed back out into the ocean.
