Turtle rescue - 2007
Dave Grant - Sandy Hook, NJ 07732

In September we were presented with a batch of dried eggs dug from a garden. To our surprise, with some careful nurturing, most hatched!

 

 

 

 

They are being raised at the Ocean Institute's turtle nursery for release in May 2008, and their growth rates are monitored weekly.

Ask to see them on your next visit

Available for adoption and release in 2008:
Note that we will be looking for suggestions about
where to release them.

 
So far their weight has more than doubled and length has increased by 50%.
