2/8/21
The adult male hawksbill turtle that we removed a hook from on 1/4/21 appears to be doing well and has been observed in the same area where it was captured on serveral occasions. Some pictures that were shared with us by divers are shown below. You can see the number etched into the second lateral scute for identification purposes has served its purpose-- allowing people who observe this animal to identify it.
