Sea Turtle Hatchling Release

 

Earth Tech Environmental assisted in the release of this young loggerhead sea turtle after the hatchling spent some time at the Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW) in Sanibel. Sea turtle nesting season is from March to the end of October here in southwest Florida. Hatchlings have a lot of obstacles to overcome to make it to adulthood – maybe this little guy will be one of lucky ones!

If you find a dead, sick, or injured sea turtle, please call FWC’s 24-hour Wildlife Alert Number at 1-888-404-3922.
