| THE
STRANDING |
Part of a mass cold stun
stranding event. Peace was in bad shape. Stunned and
debilitated, the birds had started to nip at her flippers. With a
large portion of missing shell over the rear flipper, this turtle was
very lucky to escape further injuries from hungry birds.

| THE
TREATMENT |
She is a little
loggerhead. Her wounds and barnacle filled body are attended to
daily. Sweet, sweet turtle.

Peace is feeling fine and to prove she
ordered her bling from NCWRC.
Matthew Godfrey tagged her rear flippers and inserted a pit tag in her
shoulder.
We hope she lives a long and happy life in the great blue, but should
she run into trouble, we will be able to identify her.
 
That was a close encounter with a
big mouth
