Track Our Amazing Sea Turtles

Radley - Sub-Adult Loggerhead (Click photo for final update)

Radley is a loggerhead sea turtle that was found with a scrape on the right side of the skull and an old necrotic patch of skin on the neck. The turtle was slightly underweight and anemic and had a moderate amount of barnacles and algae on the carapace. The wounds were treated topically and Radley received antibiotics and vitamin and nutritional therapy. Radley's location is being tracked by GPS satellite tag.

Gilda - Adult Female Loggerhead (Click photo for final update)

Gilda is an adult loggerhead female that stranded in the intake wells of the Port Everglades power plant October 8th 2008. Her injuries were consistent with motor-craft injury, with both sharp and blunt trauma to both front flippers. She had lost huge amounts of blood and was completely unable to swim; just floating at the mercy of the current. After multiple surgeries and close to 2 years of rehabilitation, gilda's success story continues with her triumphant release back to her ocean home. Gilda's progress and location are being tracked by satellite tag.

Morgan - Sub-Adult Loggerhead (Click photo for final update)

Morgan was admitted to LMC with a motorcraft injury to the Caudal Carapace (tail end of the carapace). There were two full thickness fractures running parallel to the spine. We estimate that Morgan was hit by a boat. Radiographs and bloodwork were done upon admission and a treatment plan was developed. Morgan's injuries were more serious than most turtles we see, and thus required a longer and more extensive rehabilitation program. Morgan was with LMC just over a year and upon successful completion of rehabilitation was outfitted with a satellite tag that will track location from time to time.
