Our 24 foot tank before the VA release.
After the release. The turtles that are left have a lot more room to spread their flippers.
Healthy weaned harbor seal pup hanging out in Hull about a week ago! But that's a post for another time.
We have eight turtles still in rehab. These turtles had not been cleared medically for release when the last transport left. But in the past few weeks some more turtles have been cleared for the next release.

| Venom is looking at the camera. Cyclops is positioned away. I believe that's Zan trying to hide under the barrel! |

| Robin peering out from the "kelp/turtle grass bed" enrichment. |

| Thor coming up for a quick breath! |
46 Thor: One more blood analysis and set of radiographs. Release pending.

We hope to get all of the turtles out once the waters in our area warm up enough. As long as everything goes well the rescue tanks should be empty by mid-August!
