Sea Turtles

Clearwater Marine Aquarium received 12 juvenile, green sea turtles from Volusia Marine Science Center due to their space limitations from a large stranding event. Blarney, Dublin, Guinness, Leprechaun, Paddy and Shamrock were transferred on March 17th (St. Patricks Day). Beaivi, Hare Ke, Idun, Ostara, Persephone, and Shinto were transferred on March 22nd. Blarney and Beaivi both have been in rehab longer at VMSC and have progressed more than the others. Majority of these greens are lethargic and have thin body conditions. Their initial treatment plan consists of antibiotics and fluid therapy. All will remain at CMA to continue out the remainder of their rehab.

On December 12, Clearwater Marine Aquarium received 12 juvenile Kemp’s ridleys transfers from New England Aquarium. These turtles were part of a recent mass cold-stun event in Cape Cod Massachusetts.
