On March 30, juvenile green sea turtle Leonardo made a triumphant return to the ocean, cheered on by hundreds of spectators at Sombrero Beach in Marathon. Rescued in July 2021 during an in-water research study in the Lower Keys, Leonardo was treated at the Turtle Hospital in Marathon for fibropapillomatosis. His treatment included tumor removal surgeries, chemotherapy eye drops, broad spectrum antibiotics, fluid treatment, vitamins and a healthy diet of mixed greens and seafood. Good luck, little one.
