Meet the Turtles

At the end of June, Upwell Executive Director Dr. George Shillinger joined our Aquarium La Rochelle collaborators to tag and release 9 rehabilitated juvenile turtles. So far, about half of the turtles have left the bay swimming slightly northward, while the other half are taking their time and exploring the bay. You can read more about each of the turtles, like where they were rescued and what care they received before their journey back into the ocean in the info cards made by the Aquarium below.
