Just swimming by to say hello! If you're visiting us this week, be sure to stop by and see Kiwi! Kiwi is a juvenile green turtle who came in on January 5th with fishing line entanglement and Fibropapillomatosis (FP) tumors. Kiwi had surgery to remove the tumors and is recovering with a good prognosis.

Pretty appropriate for the International Day of Women and Girls in Science that two of our female researchers marked the first sea turtle nest in Florida this season! Our very first Leatherback nest was reported and marked on Juno Beach this morning, the earliest for our program here at LMC and the first in the state this season. Sea Turtle Nesting Season officially begins March 1st, but this Leatherback wanted to get the party started early. Start keeping your eyes on the shoreline for our flippered friends, and stay tuned for tips on how to be sea turtle safe this nesting season!

All activities pictured are conducted with permission from FWC, including locating and marking the egg chamber.

Starting off your week with some good news about our cold-stunned Kemp's Ridley sea turtle patients. Several of these critically endangered turtles have recently been spending time in the Oh Family Deep Dive Tank, which gives them a chance to strengthen their muscles and build up stamina before release! Many of these sea turtles were so ill with pneumonia that they didn't have the energy to move around much, so getting them back in motion is a big improvement.
