The Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach, Florida is offering a long-awaited experience to our community because the rehabilitation center will be holding its first public release of a sea turtle since 2021.
On Wednesday, February 15 at 10:30 AM, the public is welcome to attend and witness the release of Rocky the loggerhead sea turtle.
According to the rehabilitation center, the 220-pound female sea turtle was initially discovered floating off North Hutchinson Island with a tear in her lung due to a boat strike.
Rocky underwent treatment for 6 weeks and was finally deemed fit for release by the hospital's team.
If you're interested in attending Rocky's release, it goes down on the beach behind Loggerhead Marinelife Center.
