FANTASTIC FOUR: TURTLE HOSPITAL MARKS WORLD TURTLE DAY WITH QUADRUPLE RELEASE

Four healthy sea turtles are back in their ocean home as Marathon’s Turtle Hospital marked World Turtle Day with a quadruple release on May 23. After treatment for fibropapillomatosis, including tumor removal surgeries, antibiotics, fluids, vitamins and diets of mixed greens and seafood – plus removal of entangled fishing gear for one of the four – “Reagan,” “Crypto,” “Elena” and “Betty” received their “swimming papers” and returned to the sea healthy and tumor-free.
