I was in West Palm Beach Florida last week with my daughter during her Spring Break (that is why there were no posts from me).
We went to the Loggerhead Turtle Rescue in West Palm Beach, where my mother volunteers at times.
It was beautiful how this turtle ran to the water for FREEDOM. It had been rescued off the pier after being hooked on a fish hook. It was found to have a few fish hooks in it and had surgery. After a few months at Loggerhead it was ready to be released on 3/18/14.
Here is the video of it being released. Being there in person is much different from watching it on video. It really was awesome how it ran for Freedom. It had been blindfolded until they put it down, so as soon as it saw the water it ran as fast as it could.
Terrible to think after all the turtle has been through it will now die in the Fukushima contaminated Atlantic.
