COASTLINE
|
Kemp's Ridley Lepidochelys kempi Juvenile |
|
| THE STRANDING | When you get a call at 3AM that
a fisherman has caught a sea turtle from the banks for the Cape Fear
river in downtown Wilmington, whatever it really is better have
flippers. With some doubt, Nancy Fahey got dressed and went on a
rescue mission. Surprise, in front of the Coastline Convention
Center, a Kemp's, caught with hook and line. Many thanks to the fisherman who saved the turtle after catching it, the Wilmington PD for calling it in, and of course Nancy, who is ever ready. |
| THE TREATMENT | The turtle swallowed the
hook. She was transported to CMAST,
where our own Dr. Craig Harms removed the hook and returned Coastline
to our care for recovery and release.  Just a blood sample before we begin, then open wide, please.
