Press release submitted by
Wild Amelia
The Georgia Sea Turtle Center, in partnership with Wild Amelia, will send three rehabilitated sea turtles back to their ocean home this Friday, May 10, at 1p.m. at Main Beach in Fernandina. This release, previously unscheduled , is needed to relieve crowding at the Sea Turtle Center, due to strandings of sick turtles during the unusually cool spring weather.
There will also be a release on Friday, May 17, at 10:30 a.m. at the same location to kickoff the 7th annual Wild Amelia Nature
Festival. Both releases are free and open to the public; come early to get a good
place on the ropeline to see this remarkable event and wish the turtles a safe
journey home!
