| THE STRANDING | A sea turtle was reported to be
in the canal behind Figure 8 Island for several days, possibly as long
as ten days. Interns Sean,
Chris, and Jen responded. Once on site Sean borrowed a kayak from
Gordon Taylor, and the two of them paddled out to the turtle. As
they drew near they observed the turtle and determined that she was not
caught on anything underwater. As they paddled along side of the
turtle, Sean jumped in the water and caught the turtle. They were
able to paddle in to shore, and then transport to the center, a
distance of about 25 miles. She had the typical freeloaders
attached, such as leeches and barnacles, but no sign of injury. Sean (left) and Taylor |
| THE TREATMENT | She was given fluids and
started on antibiotics.  Skinny neck. |
Taylor is eating and slowly recovering. |
