A threatened Pacific green sea turtle has a second chance at life thanks to the efforts of members of the public, staff at the Oregon Coast Aquarium, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and SeaWorld San Diego—and even the U.S. Navy.

Today, we began implementing our outreach project by visiting Erwin Krueger Elementary School in Aguas Calientes, Nicaragua. Due to the rainy season, just getting there was a challenge – we had to cross small rivers, and some very muddy areas in which the truck would sometimes get stuck. After three hours, and more than a little motion sickness from all the bumps along the way, we made it.

Recently, SeaWorld Orlando's animal rescue team returned three sea turtles to the waters off Florida's east coast. Each of the turtles had been cared for by the park's animal experts.

For a unique point-of-view, the team used GoPro video cameras and we think the look is pretty amazing. It's what it's like to help return now-healthy sea turtles to the wild.

(Wednesday, December 15) Today, 36 more cold-stressed sea turtles are finding care and warmth at SeaWorld in Orlando. The park’s animal rescue team and sea turtle experts picked up the turtles at the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge, near Cape Canaveral, FL, after they were found and gathered by biologists with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC).

On August 18, about five miles off the coast of Cedar Key, Fla., SeaWorld Orlando animal rescue and rehabilitation experts returned to the wild 12 endangered Kemp's Ridley sea turtles that had been saved from the oil spill. The park's experts worked closely with The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

The sea turtles were the first oiled turtles to be returned to the wild.

With the last month of summer upon us, many people take to the waterways for boating and fishing. And in Florida, no matter what time of year it is boaters are out as long as the weather is nice. Always remember to obey "no wake" zones and always discard your fishing line properly. There are bins that are located on boat ramps, fishing piers, bridges and beach access areas throughout Florida.
