Turtle Release


After enjoying the festival, we walked across the street to watch the Loggerhead Turtle release. The caretakers brought them to the beach in big plastic storage bins.


This one had been rescued and nurtured back to health. The caretaker brought it close to the water's edge.




Within seconds it took off like it had been there all its life !! A successful release back to its habitat. There were hundreds of people at the beach and everyone clapped !
