Watch as the baby sea turtle hatchlings go back home into the ocean and swim underwater!
Clearwater Marine Aquarium released 37 rescued loggerhead sea turtle hatchlings off the east coast of Florida on Nov. 9, 2018, after rescue and rehabilitation at CMA.
The baby sea turtles were all rescued after failing to make it to the ocean after they hatched from their nests. Some, like “The Pool Boys,” became disoriented after emerging from their nest and crawled away from the water, ending up in pools, parking lots and other dangerous areas. CMA rescued and rehabilitated “The Pool Boys” after they were found in a pool filter in Indian Shores, FL. The other sea turtle hatchlings were rescued in Northwest Florida for various reasons and transferred to CMA for final rehabilitation and release.
Unable to locate an appropriate seaweed line in the Gulf of Mexico for release, CMA located a healthy floating sargassum seaweed line to release the hatchlings 6 miles off Jupiter, FL on the east coast in Palm Beach County. CMA has released a total of 179 sea turtles so far this year.
