NEW patient alert 🚨🐢❤️‍🩹! “Girl Power” was rescued yesterday in the upper Keys where she was found entangled in fishing line with a heavy load of fibropapilloma tumors. Girl Power is surprisingly strong 💪🏼💖. In addition to the entanglement injuries, she ingested fishing line. Dr. Terry carefully removed the fishing line restricting Girl Power’s flippers. Please send prayers and healing energies as Girl Power has a long road to recovery. Treatment has started to help her to pass the ingested fishing line. 🙏🌟

Molly is hanging out in the Keys!

Checking in with Miss Molly! For those who aren't familiar with Molly's story, she is an adult loggerhead turtle who was rescued and treated by our friends at The Turtle Hospital last summer. She had an enormous 10 lb tumor removed before receiving a clean bill of health and going back to her ocean home in November. Since then, she has traveled up towards Marco Island and Ft. Myers before coming back down to The Keys. Track Molly here: https://conserveturtles.org/turtle/molly/
