Gulf World Marine Institute is releasing an adult female loggerhead sea turtle back into the Gulf of Mexico on Friday, August 19, 2022, at 10:00 am Eastern Time across from Salinas Park, Port St. Joe, Florida.

The address for the park is 380 Cape San Blas Road, Port Saint Joe, Florida 32456.

The release will be across the street to the south, into the Gulf of Mexico (note, not into St. Joseph Bay).

The sea turtle being released is an adult female loggerhead who was accidentally hooked by a recreational fisherman at the Navarre Beach Fishing Pier in Santa Rosa County back on May 27, 2022.

This is not Jaime’s first time in rehabilitation after accidentally being caught at a pier; it is actually her 4th time!

The public is invited to attend this event.
