400-pound sea turtle rescued from resort swimming pool after falling in and finding herself trapped
Reported byGoodGoodGood ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
A 400-pound green female sea turtle was rescued from a swimming pool at Rum Point in the Cayman Islands by conservation officials and the Department of Environment's 'Turtle Team,' checked, tagged, and released safely back to sea.
Artificial light and coastal development continue to disorient nesting turtles; the article notes this rescue occurred during nesting season when such incidents are 'not all that unusual.'
