Really glad to read that story. Nice to have some good news about endangered species. I have never witnessed he sea turtles dash for the sea but one of my favorite memories is of baby turtles in Wisconsin on the reservation at Wolf River. The family was camping and as we walked over to the river to see the falls we came across many baby turtles coming out of the nest and heading for the water. I remember everyone's first instinct was to help the turtles get to the water but we told them about how the turtles had to make it on their own to imprint the trip so as to come back as adults and lay eggs.
I wonder how the washed back turtles from the hurricane in Florida will do. I saw an article giving people that found the turtles and wanted to help, information. Apparently a Zoo in taking them but not from individuals only designated rescuers. Some of the nests of eggs were destroyed by the hurricane as well. Tough season for sea turtles. https://brevardzoo.org/washbacks/ Quote:
