Sea Turtles Naan and Sourdough released back to Florida waters!

They were ready for release! After a full recovery, Naan and Sourdough returned back to Florida waters!
Naan, a young green sea turtle was discovered near Ozello, Florida and faced health challenges with fibropapilloma tumors. With care, Naan became active and underwent successful tumor removal surgery, healing beautifully.
Sourdough, a juvenile green sea turtle was discovered near Duke Power Plant in Holiday, Florida. Sourdough faced challenges with a caudal carapace deformity and previous injuries. After receiving care for gastrointestinal gas and a buoyancy disorder, Sourdough underwent a successful deep-water swim evaluation at Florida Aquarium, Sourdough navigated a 15-foot deep-water pool with ease.
Our veterinarian and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission gave their approval for a clean bill of health. Alongside our friends at The Florida Aquarium, both turtles were released yesterday!
