Our semi-annual turtle “round-up” at Port Canaveral, FL is happening this weekend. Two hours in and we have 8 little green turtles and counting!

Whoop! He did it again! Minutes later Franko worked his magic and caught another little green.
This “round-up” is part of a long-term assessment of turtle health and abundance’s at Port Canaveral. All work is permitted under our federal and state permits (MTP-231/NMFS-19508).
Aaand another! This is #6 for Franko alone. We are now up to 10 turtles. 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢
Number 7! Totals are now up to 14. It is sweltering (heat advisory today) but just started to drizzle! Feels glorious.
