Wednesday
A turtle was reported to have been taken from the ocean and placed in a bathtub in a residence. It was recovered by DAR personnel and taken to Puako where we met them. The turtle was robust and healthy looking so we measured and tagged it before trying to set it free. When we released it, we noticed immediately that it was floating and unable to get down so we retrieved it. It will be kept at KKO until we can secure an airline reservation to ship it to Maui Ocean Center Marine Institute for rehabilitation.
The honu was air freighted to Maui (MOCMI) yesterday (10/13/22) afternoon for care and rehabilitation.
