| THE STRANDING |   Noah was caught in Cape Lookout Bight by NOAA researchers. This area is a hotspot for turtles this time of year. Biologists use a large mesh gill net to catch turtles and collect important biological information. After tagging the turtles are released. Researchers noticed several fractures to Noah's plastron and carapace, so he stayed on board until they could bring him to the dock for transfer to the KBSTRRC. His tail extends beyond his carapace so is likely male. |
| THE TREATMENT | Lucky for Noah the weather is
warm enough to be placed outside. Noah is resting comfortably
after devouring lunch. That's a good sign. |
| JULY 2009 |
Noah moved inside to the big tank in the
corner, complete with turtle cam. Eating and swimming.   Noah takes an after feeding swim. |
