Today we released Pyari back to the ocean after more than 3 months of treatment. She is part of a pioneering study with Smithsonian Institute of Conservation Biology on the behavior of three-limbed sea turtles. Dr. Barron explains a little bit of her history and care that got her back to the wild today. Thank you to the Kurz family and Kallie Rose for supporting Pyari's care. You can also follow along on her tracking on our tracking website: https://marinelife.mapotic.com/animal/pyari-69

February is right around the corner, which means it is almost time for our next By the Sea Lecture on February 18, 2026. We see firsthand how plastic pollution is affecting marine environments and our sea turtle patients, so we are excited to welcome a speaker with some solutions on reducing plastic waste. Guest speaker Dr. Collin P Ward from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution shares his insights on how academics can help reduce plastic pollution through collaboration with industry partners. Dr. Ward will share a case study showing how such a collaboration expedited the development of biodegradable and compostable products. Link to learn more and register; https://ow.ly/EKJ950Y4BbF

Exciting news! Our patient Pyari is going home to the ocean on Wednesday January 28th, and you're invited to join the release party! Pyari will be released on Juno Beach just behind our campus promptly at 9:30 AM. If you'd like to join us, we recommend you arrive early, as parking can fill up for these special events, and bundle up because it looks a bit cooler on Wednesday morning. Our campus will also open a few minutes early, as soon as the public release concludes, so you can come in to see our other sea turtle patients.

This week our patient Pyari got a recheck and wound care. Pyari is an adult female loggerhead sea turtle recovering from predator wounds to both front flippers, including a partial amputation of the left front flipper. Our team is pleased that she is on the road to recovery. Her check-up included x-rays and wound cleaning. You can support Pyari's care by adopting her online or during your visit. https://ow.ly/fhbo50XWiQX

We celebrated our first sea turtle patient release of 2026 this week with a subadult green turtle named Stuffing! Stuffing was brought in last November (in case you couldn't tell by their holiday-themed name). Stuffing is a subadult green turtle, who recovered from a shell injury and buoyancy issues after medical care with some temporary weights. Safe swimming out there Stuffing!
