Reporting of sick or injured sea life

Unfortunately we come across sick or injured sea life quite frequently. We report our findings and participate in rescue missions.

January 2008. BAD NEWS – Brook (female turtle rescued in November) euthanized as she was getting worse. She was found to have SEVERE impaction in her gut of rubbish equal to ‘a large concrete block’. This would have been happening over many months and once this was found, it was obvious that absolutely nothing could have been done for her. Her vital organs were also found to be heavily polluted with toxins from the waters. There were many tears shed for beautiful and gentle Brook. Lots of turtles have been sighted pre-Christmas with quite a few rescues taking place from strandings and boat strikes.
