Trip to the Hospital

The Turtle Hospital.
We are both well.

The Turtle Hospital is organized to rescue, rehab, and release injured and ill sea turtles.

We both enjoyed the two hours tour. And we learned a few things.

Mainly, it is easy for humans to help with 2 of 3 reasons for turtle rescues. First, keep debris out of the sea and turtles eat anything (avoid littering). Second, obey boating laws to slow down in shallow water. The third one is tougher. That is something is causing tumors called FP or fibropapilloma virus. It is thought to be a pollutant, but which one is the question.
