| THE STRANDING | Observed in distress near
Wrightsville Beach. Initially residents thought the turtle was
caught on something and called turtle hauler Nancy Fahey for
help. With the help of friend in the water (Peggy Spalleck)
and Nancy in a borrowed kayak, they were able to paddle out to
the turtle. "Lagoon" surfaced between them. They each took a side
and propelled the turtle into shore. From there she was placed into a kiddie pool and on to the KBSTRRC. |
| THE TREATMENT | Lagoon needed some TLC with a
shot of antibiotic. She is recovering, Lagoon comes up for a breath after hanging around under the shower. |
| MAY 2008 |
Lagoon enjoyed the sunny window tank for
the winter, recovering and then thriving as evidenced by her weight
gain.  Summer intern Annie cares for Lagoon during the ordeal of the pre-release physical. |
